Hi there,
I was wondering if those of you with linnies could shed some light on something for me.
When my linnies stretch their wings so that I can see under them, it appears a bit raw or like skin shows through the feathers on their bodies (where the wings usually cover). I'm not sure if they over preen in that area or if this is normal? I adopted them about a month ago so it may be from before and healing. Anyone happen to have pics of their linnies with wings away from body (flying or showering) so that I can compare?
Their feathers look normal and healthy otherwise. I give them mist showers twice a week and may increase their frequency as I do notice dander on their backs and on the perches sometimes.
Thanks!!
