saddlebredgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have a 6week old african grey that im handraising. His mother pulled out all his neck and back feathers while he was stil in the nest. I just want to know will those feathers grow back? and how long will it take? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Those feathers will grow back unless she damaged the follicles but I am hoping she didn't but the only way to tell would be if you could post a picture so we can see what you are talking about, they should grow back fairly quickly.
