Update and question

[Sassy]

Hey everyone. Neytiri is doing great. All the scabs have come off and there is nice new skin all over. Her feathers are all growing in too. I haven't seen this many pin feathers since she was a few weeks old. So my question is that since she's still in the cone and can't preen should I help her with these new feathers? I don't want to have her get the cone off and go totally bonkers preening and get carried away into full on plucking.

You can spray mist her to keep the area from being dry and itchy, she will let you know if touching is allowed.

So glad to hear that Neytiri is about back to her old self so I guess the cone didn't come off on Saturday but it should be off soon. Like Jill said you can help her with the pins if she allows you to but go easy for if you hit one that isn't ready she will let you know.

When Tango had a cone on for a couple months while trying to get new feathers to grow in. (He was a naked bird because he plucked himself so bad) I could help him with the pin feathers. He only would let me do so much before he got annoyed, but I think it did make him feel better since he could get at them.
