i found out last week that jasper is actually a female grey after going to the vets for a check up. the last 3 weeks he has started to pull out his fluffy downy feathers and made a bald patch on his back and a small one on his chest (the worst of it he did overnight on the first week)
they are starting to grow back now but i did wonder if this is part of hormonal or nesting type behaviour in females,along with all the shredding he does. this is what made me curious and have a dna test done

Well we had a black headed caique handed in the other day, 3 years old and the lady that handed it in said that it had been poked by the kids with sticks So, it's time to start his rehabilitation. he is a right nasty little bird but hay ho! we will try and get him a happy life back
