In the past few days saffron has been losing a few tail feathers here and there but she was doing fine and I did not think much of it, but today when I came into their room she did not have a tail at all and all of her tail feathers were on the floor. She is still eating and drinking though but idk what i should do and I’m pretty worried because she is more tired than usual and has droopy wings but she still does fly. She doesn’t trust me at all and is terrified of my phone that’s why the picture are not that good.

I would get her vet checked. The fatigue an droopy wings is concerning. The missing tail feathers could be many things.
Oh, but the nearest vet is 30 minutes away I fear that she will panic and stress to much. Plus we don’t have avian vets (or at least I don’t think we have) so am not sure. Btw she is a lot better now but what could the tail possibly be?

Glad to hear that she's seems to be doing better. I would still have a vet look at her. Even vets who do NOT specialize in Avian can assist with our parrots. Been there myself. Anyway as for loosing all the tail feathers.....It could be many things. I would at least call the vet and see if they have any thoughts, or advice. Good Luck

Thank you for letting us know that she's doing better! My almost 18 yr tiel had nite frights as a baby, but I always heard him and would go out and calm him down. Never did figure out what caused them? Good Luck
