Yikes!

I was going to pick up my TAG, who was happily walking around the bottom of his cage, when I noticed something different. In his little beak was a feather! Is this the beginning of a plucking problem?

I would not worry about one feather. Birds preen their feathers and sometimes they will stick to their beak. It was probably a feather that was getting ready to come out anyway. It is that time of year.

Agreeing with Dean, I wouldn't worry about one little feather. It's time for molting, so you're bound to find a feather or 2 in his beak. I would, however, keep a close eye on him just to be sure there isn't anything else going on.

Otherwise, enjoy your little bundle of joy.

Worple is moulting quite badly at the moment and his feathers are all over the place. He loves to pick them up and play with them once they have fallen out. Maybe that is what your fid is doing.
