Sammy is not a feather plucker but he sure likes to chew them off. It seems as soon as we get him with a few coming in he’ll break them with his beak or just bite it off. He is socializing with everybody (but me) really well. My problem is he doesn’t know what toys are or that he can shew them. He does have a whiffle ball that he loves to chew. The other day he dropped it in the floor and then slammed his wood block chew toy against his ladder and when I turned to look he quickly turned and stared out the window and started whistling like he didn’t make that noise. LOL! He does have some personality starting to come out and he loves to swing. He can say Hello and Sammy but never when I want him too.
His diet is now fresh veggies and fruit, dehydrated veggies and fruit, and pellets. He is healthy and big. His head is beautiful and all of his downy feathers are coming in. I think if he would play with some of the toys he would stop chewing his feathers. Any suggestions on how to teach a five year old he can chew stuff up?
I have been pretty sick lately and Tweak has started plucking again. I am feeling better now and can pick her up without passing along the infection so I hope to have her back to pretty feathers in no time at all. She is so sensitive to my feelings. She is so precocious right now!
