Help! Bells (ARN) broke his tail feather! It was 12 inches long. Not knowing what to do, I made the decision to cut it where it was broke (6 inches). It did not bleed and he made no motion to indicate that it bothered him when I cut it. I LOVED his tail feather and am scared it will not grow again. Has anyone had any experience here with this?
Maybe the question I should be asking is how do feathers grow out? When I found him, his wing feathers were hacked and not knowing any better, I took him to the vet to have them clip him. I am now growing his feathers out so he can fly and those feathers are growing out with a flat tip.
Will his tail feather grow out flat as well?
I have heard of pulling feathers. If a feather is pulled will a new one grow in its place?
Hopefully these are not that stupid of questions. But, like I said when I joined...I'll be asking tons of questions so that I can give Bells the best life!!!
