Note: You can see her clip really well in this shot. We didn't choose to have her wings clipped, she just came to us that way. We were also unaware that the breeder clipped all of her flight feathers. She's molting a little bit right now, so we're hoping she starts regrowing some of them sooner than some estimates are saying.



Oh my goodness your birdy is sooooo cute!!!!! I love the colours! Just want to snuggle its puffy face!

Haha, thanks! Cuddling is just about her favorite thing, so she would totally let you.

Jacko sometimes does this when she gets excited or desperately wants attention (i.e the 'if i grab my wing feathers and wrench it really hard so it hurts and I squawk she'll look at me!')

I think though its something common to long-tailed birds--my cockatiel did similar when preening his tailfeathers.
