My 13 week old cockatiel tail feathers looked quite shabby. they were getting bent and breaking off. the cage I have is very large (FLIGHT CAGE). so I know it can't be the space is to small. and They looked awfull, so I decided to cut them, shorter so it would not annoy the bird so much,, is it ok that I did this? it didn't hurt it all. I think it feels and looks much better. is this normal for their feathers to look like this ,at this age? the rest of his feathers look beautifull. but it does pull out small fuzzy ones. I keep them with lots of toys, and human interaction, good food everyday, sunlight, lots of love and atten. They are happy birds.
I have a 9 year old tiel also, but I rescued her, and she looks 10 shades lighter, then before. They donot pick at one another at all. so I know this can't be it either. but I'm not familiar with younger tiels. any suggestions?
