Re: Blood Feathers?

leave the blood feathers alone, unless they get broken then they will need pulling. All birds have blood feathers its how feathers grow once they have grown then the vein that supply's the blood dries up and the feather becomes like the rest of the other feathers. These are completely normal.

I dont really want to do that just yet as shes unbalanced enough as it is poor thing. but if anyone has any tricks to...

Re: Hi from NZ
