RAVEN!!!

She is going through an extremely heavy molt, so last night I gave her a bath to soften up some of those pin feathers. Well, you can see for yourself what happened to her:

Looking rather scruffy, but cute as always!!

A closer look at the stubby tail.

Doesn't she look thrilled that I keep taking pictures of her bad 'feather' day.

Finally here is the evidence left at the scene:

phewey...That is a heavy molt, just think of how sexy she'll be when she's gotten all her new feathers. My little Bugs is going through a molt and its been going on for about 2 weeks now, but I spray him with Bird Bath Spray so he doesnt have to preen himself every five minutes. He's starting to get thebrighter slicked back style feathers on the top of his head but hes got a long way to go.
She looks tamed sitting on your toe, unlike my blue devil who bit through my finger last night. I dont think I'll ever tame him, he grunts and screeches when I get my hand close to him. He'll focus all his attention on my hand and then bites when I try to touch him digging his beak into my skin and keep biting into it.

i just looked in birds cage today and i also found some BIG feathers. I'm pretty sure they were two flight feathers because they are cut at the end. It's so cool.
