I have noticed that Penny seems to have a couple of long feathers, that may be tail feathers! So I thought I would compare photos of her when I got her and now. What do you all think? 4th May 2021 16th August 2021 (today)

Agree - she's definitely getting tail feathers. Way to go, Penny!

Big difference in the tail feathers, I really hope she keeps them.
It's amazing what a good diet can achieve Marianne, she's getting fresh veg and herbs, all that must go towards better health.

I don’t know the story of Penny but she certainly looks better & how great she’s growing a new tail!

Brilliant!!! That is so lovely to see. The feathers in her tail area are all looking so much more healthy.

My big dream is for her to fly, but I know that might not happen. Just before bed

Just before bed This is a lovely photo. She looks very bright (not sleepy at all ) And yes, I definitely think those are tail feathers, as well.

Thanks Hezz. I wasn't sure what the tail feathers for her mutation would look like. She's a very lively little girl and was climbing around her cage before bed.

The longest dark feather could most definitely be a long tail feather. I’ve just had a look at Spyro’s (he gave me ‘that’ look) and the next longest ones, coverts, underneath the two primary feathers definitely have some white markings as well.

So good to see how well she's doing and hear that she seems to have adjusted well to your flock. It would be amazing to hear that she's flying. How are her legs - is she standing up more?
