WE WERE MAKING SO MUCH PROGRESS!!! AHHHH!

[Jobot]

Sorry, I am just so frustrated! My bird went from this:
To THIS overnight!
ONE NIGHT!! I know it's my fault. I was trying to change his bedtime, and that was NOT OK, as it turns out. He's also been insanely hormonal lately, and barbers more when he's like that.
I love him so much, even if he hasn't picked me as his favorite.
He'll get what he wants. No change in bedtime.
Bonus pic: his cage this morning.

Aww poor little guy!

 

[sunnysmom]

Awww, I'm sorry. They will grow back.

 

[Jobot]

Thanks. I have to keep telling myself that. He seems pretty chipper today, though. He's just looking out the window and singing at everyone who passes by.

Oh no Flynn!!! How is it possible you get even FLUFFIER after you've snipped off all those feathers???

 

[Heather F]

Poor little dude. Amazing how just one little thing can set it off. That picture of all those feathers on the bottom of the cage literally overnight...

 

[Jobot]

I know, right?! He is so fluffy now!!
It's so crazy, he isn't over preening today like he used to. So weird. It was just too much to adjust his bedtime, I guess! I guess I will just have to deal with getting up early.

 

[Heather F]

Maybe try adjusting it suuuuuuuper gradually, like 5 minutes one night, wait a few days, another 5 minutes, another few days?

 

[Jobot]

I thought about that. We'll try that in a bit.
