New Tag. Can you answer a few Questions ?

[Irishchicky]

Hi everyone. I have a new timneh african grey. I adopted her about 3 weeks ago from an owner who could no longer care for her.

 

She is 14 months old.

 

for the first 2 weeks she was an angel! Anyone could hold her and pet her. But in the last week her behaviour has changed. shes biting me really hard and shy's away when i try to take her out of her cage.

 

She is going through her first molt so would this be why she is so cranky??

 

 

Also can someone tell me how you recognise the difference between a feather that is plucked , molted or broken?

 

 

She was on her playstand last night and i wasnt watching her. I found a wing feather on the floor. I dont know whether she plucked it or whether it was broken or molted.

 

It had some white fluff near the quill end and when i squeezed the end a little blood came out

 

Thanks too anyone who can help me
