Oh my gosh I'm so sorry to hear about Phoebe's plucking... Poor thing. I really wish I could help you with some sound advice but I have no expertise in the treatment of plucking. Hopefully some others can chime in here with some good advice.

 

Hang in there and please keep us posted!

OH no not again. Oh well at least you know how now. poor baby she just play's why to hard I had the same problem with Tyco when she was growing her flight feathers back in she broke at least 6 of them before she finally had enough feathers around them to have support so she didn't break them I had to take a few of her favorite toys away for a bit because everytime she played with them she broke a feather.

Poor Phoebe, you are having a time with her, at least Pat taught you how to take care of it, let us know how she is Tanya later.

Thank you so much for your concerns about phoebe. shes doing fine now. mad at me but much better...

She will get over it Tanya, she is a little mad right now, I am sure it hurt to have that feather shaft pulled but it had to be done so give her a little time and she will be back to her old self. Thanks for letting us know.

I must have missed a previous post somewhere. Why are you pulling out the blood feather? Was it broken? Did Phoebe have an accident?

[judygram]

No Charlene you haven't missed a post as she didn't make a thread about it but she had to pull another broken blood feather a couple of weeks ago with the help of Pat and now last night she had to pull yet another Phoebe broke off, she is getting good practice.
