I will start with Dexter and his feather issue's
But I do have questions for Catalinadee and Kate.
Here are some photos of Dexters tail showing Stress/pressure bars. This shows how bad the bars are.
And had talked about issue's he had with Primary Flight feathers causing him some pain when they get caught up in his secondary Flight feathers, on another forum.
And feel these are both related to the the trouble in Lura's life, back last year. A quick update, Lura had some very serious stress going on in her life, and it took her at least 5mths to decide that her two Alex were not getting the care they needed, I stepped up and offered to take them in and look after them. Mango does not seem to have suffered like Dexter has. This is easy to explain as he was very close to her, and it would seem he understood the the hell she was going through.
His tail
And close ups
And moving on.
A poor shot from my phone of the first feather I see he had trouble with.
This one I cut back to a stub, but could not see any damage lower down, yet it stuck out at an angle now and then.
Here is one that dropped out yesterday, I saw it and grabbed him to have a look, but it dropped out before I got a look.
Here is a pic of the end of it, and it looks to be a weak spot in the shaft the way it is torn.
I let him go and then see this, so got a pic of it as well.
Poor little boy.
Now he has no Primary Flights on this side.
All comments welcome.
At least he seems happy enough! Here is is sleeping on my leg. He has settled in so well, and will step up for just about anyone now. He comes to work most days and is meeting a huge number of people. Needless to say having a parrot on your shoulder does get people talking.
Now Kate you seem to be good at sub species, so my question is do you think Dexter is the larger one Nepalese? he does show a good blue hue on the back of his neck
Catalinadee I did see your thread about the beak trouble. I did not realise you took him in as an adult.
I am sure now he is with you and you have sorted his diet things will come right in time, Like with Dexter.
Love, time, and diet can make huge inroads to correct somethings in their life.
