Joined a few months back looking for Info and general research and figured I’d atleast try and introduce/re-introduce Timmy, found this group while doing a general search on his leg band hoping to find some history on him after we rescued him and found that he was actually part of this group YEARS ago.. After he was rehomed by a gentleman here that from what I can tell treated him amazingly he unfortunately went to 4 or 5 other questionable homes before he arrived with us, his forever home. He is an amazing little guy and since being with us has really come out of his shell and just LOVES being the center of attention. I know as with all forums these days it’s pretty slow/all but dead but for what it’s worth this place is still a plethora of education and I’ve learned a ton just reading through old posts FullSizeRender.MOV

As Greytness already mentioned- it is molting season! The white dander/floofy feahers are normal, especially after a big preening session. Alfie often sits on my knee and covers me in dust and floofs as he preens himself. Feather barbering or plucking would result in broken or damaged feathers and in the worst cases sometimes a bit of blood if they pluck a feather that's still growing in. You would start to notice bald patches appearing over time too.

Hello and a belated welcome to the forums! There are still a small handful of us around who check in regularly. It's great that you managed to find some previous posts/information about Timmy here! This place is such a great place for information and help but like you say, forums in general are all a bit slow these days. I personally much prefer this format than the likes of facebook groups that I lurk in. However life does often take over and I find it difficult to be as active as I used to be.
