Whiteboy's feather improvements

[tielmama]

I'm happy about Whiteboy's feather growth. He came to me with maybe one broken tail feather, and each wing had one or two of the longest feathers, but they looked pretty bad. You will notice that he might have a full tail, and his wings are really coming along nicely. I am going to show a shot from a few months ago, and some from today.
Look at his funny legs with feathers trying to grow on them.

Wow, his really looking better.

Where did you get him from and what had happened to him? Was he feather picking?

Wow! I'm gonna tell Whiteboy what nice things are being said about this feather situation. I got him 8 months ago from someone who was afraid the Boy was going to out live him. Whiteboy has never been a plucker. The man thought his feather loss, and lack of reproduction, was due to his age. We don't know his age, because he was a wild caught and imported bird. The man also told me that Whiteboy was scared to death of water. I secretly thought to myself that getting that bird a bath would be the answer. My Whiteboy trusted me from our start, and the shower was no problem. The daily or every other day showers probably have made the change. Plus, he thinks he's King Whiteboy here, and so I think he can feel the love!
