Hi there -
I would like to thank all of you who wrote to me about my
new Cockatiel. I am making slow progress. She has stopped hissing when I
get near her and has started taking food from my hand but does not like being
handled much.:(
New question: A lot of small feathers and dry little specks are
coming off of her. Is this normal for this time of year --- does it happen all
year long? It is not molting I am sure. Could it be caused by a dietary
problem?????? I feed her Cockatiel seeds and fresh greens and there is always
fresh water, though she does not like the larger seeds but prefers to eat only
the small canary type seed.
Thank you in advance for all your help. I really appreciate it.
I wish you all the very best for the Holidays and a great New Year!!!!
