Thank you, M. Yeah looks like a couple missing from the tip of one wing; shouldn’t keep him out of the air though.
mrlogout31, the rest of the feathers look neat and in place, in good condition so there is not obvious indication that the bird has any disease. Normal moulting should be starting to happen about now. Has this one ever flown? On a normal, well muscled, well-exercised bird those couple of missing flights would not be an issue, but if this one has never been airborne, hopefully it is simply that it hasn’t been exercised enough, rather than a problem with the wing’s physiology.
