Toni Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Today I received pics of my new Amazons.The male is in great shape however, the female has a naked chest.I know there are threads on plucking but I feel it will take a while to read through them to get my answer. The breeder told me that she is plucking because she wants to nest.Could this be true?
M2MM Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 If she's old enough for that, then I would say it is possible.
lovemyGreys Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Hi Toni,yes it is possible she has plucked her own feathers either for nesting or something called a brood patch,im not sure if Amazons do this but a brood patch is where the female exposes her skin allowing more warmth to her eggs.
Toni Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 ohhhhh, ok. Thank you for the info on that. Now I feel more relieved.
