Default not sure yet.......

but I think Zoey did a little plucking/barbering. Remember a while back when she came home a bit sore from a wing clip and nail trim? She laid on my chest for almost three hours and slept. I think she also got a poor clip that day. At first I thought maybe it was her being too close to Sophie so I rearranged cages. I noticed the feathers missing under her wings across her back as well as hit and miss areas on her chest and legs.
She also happened to be molting so I wrote it off as such. This was a month ago I rearranged the cages. This is also why I let her flights grow out and we all know the scare I had with that!!!
Since the last trim after the scare she seems more back to normal. But she has a hard time with molts. There hasn't been any more mornings or times of pile of feathers on the cage bottom. Poor girl just looks mangy right now.
I'm just hoping that the feathers aren't growing back as fast I would like them to and its all the molt.

Sometimes they can look a bit raggy. If you dont find feathers probably not plucking cos I dont think birds eat feathers.

Would you like me to send you some aloe?

Don't worry too much about your Zoey. She's going to be ok. We will also hope and pray it is just an itchy molt! Give her beakie kisses from us! Ruby says "step-up!"
