Broken tail

Post by susan »

My IRN has broken his tail feather...what can I do? It seems painful when I touch it.

Hi Susan,
I would recommend just leaving it alone. I read in a Bird Talk magazine that pulling a feather off of your bird is like pulling our hair out. The article said the bird will deal with it and just to leave it alone. So that's what I do. But I'm by far no expert!

Good luck,
Jen

If the bird kind of growls at you when you thouch the tail feathers it just means that the bird doesn't want you doing that! Most birds are sensitive about those feathers being touched
