feathers not coming back???

[pinkharley]

well sugar and spice are a year old now and I made the stupid mistake many months ago to clip them just after they started to fly well sugars feathers have grown back and is starting to fly again but spices feathers have not even started to come back yet should I be worried?

took mine around a year to molt out clipped flight feathers, I believe. Did sugar molt recently and not spice? That could be the reason. They won't regrow them until they molt the cut ones out.

sugar lost some feathers but not a molt per say unless it was a little one lol no pinnies etc

Sounds like Sugar went through a molt and lost enough clipped feathers to regain flight, but not Spice. It can take around 2 years at least to molt out all body and flight feathers, so it could be a while yet before Spice molts his flights.
