Shoulderin Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Bohdi, 5 months, likes to fly even though her wings are clipped. She seems to land fairly hard on the ground so I am not going to get her wings trimmed for awhile if at all. I'm worried because several of her tail feathers have broken off which I assume is from the hard landings. She is not plucking or chewing them. Should I leave them alone or ? Thanks!

Georgiesmum Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 When George was that age he used to play around the cage very roughly and broke loads of his tail feathers... i was like you i didn't know what to do but eventually a year later new ones started to grow and pushed the old tail stumps out and now he has the most fab tail!!!! and he's not as clumsy so doesn't break them now...

judygram Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Should I leave them alone or ? Yes just leave them be, Bohdi will take care of them by either trying to pull the shaft out or leaving them to molt out by themselves, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
