Good morning all!
Just a question about how long it typically takes for wing feathers to grow back in.
I have had Bo for three weeks, so not very long and we got told one feather on one wing was clipped when he was a baby so the breeder could handrear him. On getting him home they've clipped a lot more than one feather, our poor little lad had one outer wing feather and then none. Bo is 6 months old now and I appreciate these will take time to grow back in, just wondering on a rough time scale.
He is paying more attention to that wing with preening now so assuming there's some movement which is irritating him. I feel bad that he can't come out and fly like a normal bird, also he has to be monitored when he's out of his cage because he tries to fly and cant so this is making his out of cage time less because he needs someone in the room to prevent an injury.
Thank you all in advance! Just want him to get these feathers back haha!!
