Guess who's first wing feather came in today?

[CrazyBirdChick]

Blu's first one came in today!

I don't know if this is going to be cause for celebration because he will be able to burn off some of his cookoo..or if I'm going to have to duck for cover and get a restraining order.

Wish me luck guys!

Thanks guys! I am excited! But also, a little nervous. Blu has been a demon this week!

Yay!?!

It will be good! Diego has completely full flight now, and he's SO good at it! I can't wait until the rest of Petunia's grow in!

I wish you the best.. Felicia is fully flighted but rarely flys.. she'd rather waddle on the floor..

Blu still has only 1 wing feather.

Now, I'm not worried or stressed about it ( @JLcribber ) but I'm just curious why the other wing hasn't grown in symmetrically?

Because they were all hacked off at once. The protocol for replacing wing feathers (1 or 2 at a time) is the same until they are all fully grown back in.

At that point is they lose one you won't even know which one it was until the blood feather shows itself.

Thank you so much!!!

3 clipped flight feathers came out this week!
How long does it take for new ones form?

Can you see a pin feather? I found it takes 1-2 weeks for a pin feather to grow in after they lose it. Sometimes more however.

Thanks for the reply, Audrey! I can't tell right now but I will try to look tonight when I give him scritches. Good to have a time estimation! Thank you!!!

2 more clipped feathers dropped today! Woo hoo!


6 total new primaries, so far, in 2 1/2 months. This has been such a long molt but I'm excited for him. Can't wait to see the new ones form. I'm hoping these two came out of the right wing cause so far it's only been on the left.

That is awesome, soon he will fly!!!
