  2. They must be too short then.. Cause she flies about two or three metres and then crash lands.
  3. Her wings are clipped! But I'm considering letting them grow out. But too nervous! Don't want to loose her. She flaps off her cage when she gets a fright.
  4. Good news everybody! I took Sassy to the vet today, because she only has 4 tail feathers left. Thankfully its not self-mutilation! She is a happy healthy grey! He said that her cage must be too high, so when she flies off it she breaks her tail feathers. She's such a scaredie bird she flies off all the time. So the problem is solved! Thanx for all the concern shown. Rosie :lol:
  5. Sorry.. I wasn't serious, just being sarcy about the sex thing. just also getting frustrated that no one really knows whats up. non of these discriptions seems to fit my situation. A real worried mom!! thanks for the help people. Maybe I should try get an appointment with the vet. It's just my vet doesn't seem to be too much of a bird fundy..
  6. He is a SHE, "Sassy- LADY". and no i can't see your photo..
  7. They are loose at the base, she doesn't sit around chewing on her feathers at all. They just become loose like a loose tooth, then when they start standing in different directions she breaks them off.
  8. But the feathers come loose FIRST and stick out in odd directions... then she breaks them off? Maybe I should take her for a check up.. :dry: now i'm worried! She took another loose one off today. its 4 tail feathers now and no others.
  9. Thanx for all the advice guys!! The weird thing about the feathers shes lost, is that she breaks them off, and doesn't pull them out, so there is no tip. I haven't seen any blood, but I think I've seen new 'pins' coming through. Sassy doesn't appreciate me fiddling with her rear-end in an effort to check wats going on. :laugh: I know she isn't plucking them out, becuz its only the loose ones she breaks off. And there haven't been any drastic changes in her life. One more question: Can I rule out the possibility of her landing wrong or something, and accidentally breaking the feathers causing them to fall out?
  10. She's about 8 months old now.. I thought she had landed wrong or something and maybe broken the feathers, but it seems different.what do you think?
  11. Sassy's tail feathers have been coming loose and then she bites the loose ones off. so far only two or three have been lost, but I'm worried there is something wrong. Is it normal for CAG's to loose their tail feathers?
  12. A duck walks into a pub and orders a schooner of beer and a ham sandwich.The barman looks at him and says, "But you're a duck"."I see your eyes are working", replies the duck."And you talk!" exclaims the barman."I see your ears are working", says the duck,"Now can I have my beer and my sandwich please?""Certainly", says the barman, "sorry about that, it's just we don't get many talking ducks in this pub, let alone those that eat butties and drink beer. What are you doing round this way?"."I'm working on the building site across the road", explains the duck. "Busy"? asks the barman "Absolutely maxed out" says the duck, "a change of job wouldn't go amiss". With that, the duck, eats his sandwich finishes off his beer and leaves.This continues for 2 weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The Ringleader of the circus comes into the pub and the barman says to him,"Ah just the man, you're with the circus aren't you? I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your circus, he talks, drinks beer and everything!"."Sounds marvellous", says the ringleader, "get him to give me a call". With that, the barman takes the ringmaster's phone number. So the very next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money and I've got the phone number here as well if you're interested!" "Absolutely?" says the duck, "Sounds great, where is it?""At the circus", says the barman."The circus?" the duck enquires."That's right", replies the barman."The circus?" the duck asks again."Yes" says the barman"You mean that place with the big tent?" the duck enquires."Yeah" the barman replies."With all the animals?" the duck questioned."Of Course" the barman replies."With the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle and the canvas walls"? asks the duck."That's right!" says the barman.The duck looks confused. The barman says "is there a problem then?" The duck replies "What the hell would they want with a plasterer?"
  13. Taken with my cell phone!! This proves that we do get snow in SA!

  14. I'm having the same issue with my Sassy-Lady. She hates strangers (and my dad). And now she's staring to bite my sister! Even though she's know her from the start. And sees her nearly every day... Weird!:blink:
  15. Ah! thats great Haylz! Yay! I must pop past one day to see the little guy. Yup! I really am enjoying this site. But still having a tough time navigating it, plus its slow. :dry: Oh well, you know me.. once I get into something I get hooked!!!:lol: Love to all! Rose:kiss:
