Dave007 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It best to have an ONLINE STORAGE AREA. A very popular one is called PHOTOBUCKET. This is how it works....You take a picture from your digital camera and put it into your private photo file located on your PC. Not all pictures have to come from a digital camera. Any other pictures you have saved in any of your photo files can be put into PHOTOBUCKET Type in PHOTOBUCKET and join. It's free and will always be free. After you join,when ever you go there you'll see words saying BROWSE. Click on any BROWSE section. Instantly, all of your files will appear. You simply open up any of your picture files and when you double click on it, and the link immediately copies to PHOTOBUCKET. Then on PHOTOBUCKET, you press UPLOAD. Your picture is now part of your ONLINE STORAGE AREA and you'll see it. To the left or under your picture, you'll see a link that starts with. Click on that link and press COPY. Then, go to this board and type in any message you like in any area you like and when you're finished, right click your mouse and press PASTE. Then submit your post. Your post plus the picture will appear. PS--PhotoBUCKET automatically resizes your picture so that you can put it on any board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Right then i'll have to practice with the photos, but from the 2 you can now see the difference in Flint. The second photo shows bite damage to his shoulder as well as the fluffy stuff where his wing feathers used too be. Take a good look see what you good folk think.

lovemyGreys Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Definitely not a standard molt in my own personal opinion.Feather plucking maybe a option but this is so vast. I would seek immediate veterinary advice.This may be PBFD or Giardia.Please see a vet & update us.<br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2007/10/30 22:40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemyGreys Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Dave do you have any thoughts on the second picture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 LovemyGreys My opinion is that many birds have a very serious first molt. Some don't. Many times, it has to do with how high wired the bird is as far as personality. The first major molt combined with a nervous, possibly itchy skin may cause what's in the photo. The important thing is that the white down feathers are coming in It's not unusual for that to happen in young birds, especially Greys and Cockatoos. It may happen with the first major molt but not with molts that will occur in the future. But, this is just my opinion and I'm not discounting any visit to a Vet if necessary. It'll take quite a while for his feathers to grow back in . I would suggest that the owner get some ALOE GEL and rub a little on those bare areas.I'll try to show an example although it goes back a few years This is Jazz when he was 1 yr old and had his first molt. He was and is high wired. This is what he looked like 2 mts after his first molt. He's now 7 yrs old and has never had a mutilating type molt again. . Also, he pulled out all the flight feathers on his left side. This is what he looks like now including his left wing. <br><br>Post edited by: MrSpock, at: 2007/10/30 23:51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thank you Dave for your reply,i do value your opinions & i have certainly learnt from you.My two boys are molting quite heavy at the momment & i was a little concerned about their feather condition but it is nothing as drastic as Flint. Thanks for posting the pictures of Jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
