Sassy Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The feathers I'm finding from Neytiri have the ends of the shaft flattened. Should I be concerned or is it possible she just grabbing them too hard while preening? I'm finding only 1-2 feathers a week. Am I a panicking new mom? Thanks.

danmcq Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is normal. Many times when a feather comes out, they will hold and chew on the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Ok thanks. Figured out last night why she's been scratching her ears and head so much. Found a bunch of pin feathers. I sat and pet her head and rubbed them gently and she about melted in my lap. It was so sweet. I just wanted to cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She appreciates that so much for you are getting at the ones she cannot reach, she is in birdie heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
