Cutting feather tips!!


Sindbad

Recommended Posts

Good morning. Just another question from the novel CAG owner to the experts. :))

 

I noticed that he is grooming himself most of the time, which seems natural to me. But I saw him cutting the tip of a feather every now and then. He is also shaking his head in a quick move sometimes too frequent (like once every 4 or 5 seconds). Should those be any alarming signs? Thanks.

Nipping off portions of feathers is a problem. If he is shaking his head as often as you describe, he could have an underlying health issue such as an ear infection.

 

I would have a good Avian vet give him a checkup to ensure all is well with him.

I saw him nipping his feather two times so far. I'll keep an eye on him for another day. Also now observing him, he is not shaking his head as much, actually at all. I don't know if I'm being paranoid.

 

I will start the seach for an avian vet as well.
