Re: HELP PLEASE

Well, my little one just hit 5 months and lost a few little downy looking feathers...Some had color to the tips too...Nothing since though. Should I expect her to drop more for a first molting?

Re: My IRN Nibbles on My Ears HARD - HELP!

Mine has done that before...I don't think he/she realizes how hard she is nibbling....I don't think there is any aggression behind it at all, so I try not to make a big deal with it...I usually just give her something else to stick in her beak and move her off my shoulder.
