Thanx for the information because we’ve actually had a bit of stress going on with moving house and family stuff. Sometimes it takes a message like yours to put things back into perspective. I didn’t even realise that my stress would affect Matilda, she does get a bit grumpy and nippy if I’m stressed. Thanx again, just off to make a Chamomile tea. 🤣🦜👍

Thanx for your response. I’ve just had 2 weeks off work with my Girl and she’s been really excited spending a lot of time with me. I noticed if I’m home more she will eat smaller amounts of her food to spend more time with me. She thinks I’m her boyfriend. 😃

I second everything greytness said. Hopefully it's just a one off because she accidentally damaged it. Alfie had a feather hanging out of his wing the other day and he just reached round and pulled it out... it was ready to go though so it was a complete feather and wasn't damaged like this one. But it clearly annoyed him that it was so out of place! Just try and stay calm around her- I know how hard it is to worry about whether or not they are plucking but they feed off your mood and stresses- they are very empathetic. So if they pick up that you're worrying or stressing then that can make them start to stress and if she is prone to plucking then it could make her resort to that. They're sensitive little buggers underneath that sharp beak! 😂
