Re: How long?/Robin
Posted by Rowena on 7/29/05

Thanks for replying Robin. We had thought at first that one of
the others had pulled them, but we can't find the feathers
anywhere, even cleaned out the wicker nest they use, still no
feathers. He's eating well, chirping and preening, and still
hopping around his cage, kinda clumsy tho', balance may be off?
Except for the tail issue, seems to be happy and healthy.
Probably bothers me more than him, but don't want to put him
back in with the flight, you know how birds are with one that
looks injured or different. Thanks, Rowena
