Hi all, I just wanted to post this photo of my sisters budgie Vi, ever since she got him as a baby a year ago he has never left his tail feathers alone, i was wondering if there are any particular reasons a budgie does this to itself? i've seen him pull them out as they start to grow? He is a lovely happy healthy bird with plenty of company and toys to play with and doesn't seem to have any other problems, what can be causing this?
