I've had to say this multiple times here, but the bird farm I got her from clips all of their bird's wings so her's were clipped as well before I got her.

Oh... yeah that happens in some places. Oh if the feather still in the keratin which the top part sometimes is just make sure she's bathing that part. The water will make it less stiff and uncomfy. If not make sure the positioning isn't causing a rubbing or infection. :-)

Hmm, the last time I checked it, i couldn't see any keratin, but I'll get her to bathe just in case. Thanks!

How is little Daisy doing? Any more problems with her wing?

I think I made another post about it in which I shared that she actually found it so painful and bothersome that she chewed it off :( ! She'll probably still be able to fly, but she'll have to make up for the loss of one feather during flight. Luckily, her other flight feathers are growing in a bit better and so far there hasn't been any big trouble with them.

Yes, I remember that post. Scary! I'm so glad she's not having trouble with her other flights! Very good news!
