Default Emma got spooked

somewhere between 5am and 7ish when it gets light. My guys sleep in the room next to me, so I can hear what goes on. At 5am when Geo gets up for work, he closes the bedroom door, so I can sleep in peace, and when the birds start singing in the AM it doesnt wake me.
Well, this morning when I uncovered Emma, she had lost 5 red tail feathers, 3 large wing feathers and has a large owie on her face. She lost all the tail feathers in the middle. I tried to check them but she was not having anything to do with that.
She must have been spooked by either the snow plows trying to scrape up the ice on the roads or a spookie ookie spider. (thats what we call em here) It wasnt her typical falling off her perch type injury.
She is singing and playing now, and was happy with her breakfast, so she is ok, but beat up.....my poor girl!

On the upside,.....she was so noisey and playing Stirling was telling her "Emma, Quiet"
Stirling has never said her name before.

she just needs a kiss, when she wants one. Good that Stirling knows who made the noise.

Poor little Emma! Merlin doesn't like the snow plows either. He gets scared when he hears them coming too.

Hope she's feeling better soon!!

Thank goodness she's alright. That must have been quite a scare for you to see that! Hugs and scritches to you both.

lol...thanks everyone!

Geo said she started to flap around this morning, and he checked her, tho he didnt see any feathers come out. He went downstairs to finish getting ready for work and she started again. He knows to wake me next time if he doesnt hear my footsteps racing across the hard wood floors!

Ouch!! Poor Emma!! Glad to hear she's doing ok tho. Neither Bud nor Piper like loud noises either, altho Piper seems to handle them better. She jsut stands up real tall, pins her eyes, then squats down as far as she can & weaves back & forth trying to find what it was that made the scary noise. Poor Bud usually jumps up several inches, flutters back down & acts like it was the worst thing in the world!! Then she gets mad at you for scaring her!
