CathyJr Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Do their Flight feathers come in one side at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I love to see parrots hanging from their feet - it really strikes my funny bone for some reason. And, to answer your question, no. They molt symmetrically. This allows them to maintain the ability to fly while replacing their feathers. If Hannah is losing flight feathers from just one side, you may have a problem with plucking or some other issue that will require attention. If so, you might want to post something in the Health Room where some of the more serious forum members are serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyJr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks Doug I will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Doug is right, the flight feathers molt out at different times but usually the same ones on both sides, just be patient as she gains a full set. I love to see them hang upside down myself, I call them "bat" birds, thanks for sharing the pics of Hannah with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
