Hey guys, I spoke a little about it in the 'French Moult' thread but one of my babies has weird wings and a super short tail. She's moulting right now, and I'm waiting for her flight feathers to grow back in. She looks like this now -    She looked like this before moulting -  What I want to know is - does she just have smaller proportions than normal birds because of some breeding, or has she suffered from FM? |

If the feathers that fall out have blood in the quill then its french moult , yours appears to be a chick that became stressed during its 22 - 42 days , when its parents would hold back food to encourage it to feed itself, in most cases they all regrow

In that case, I do not think she has FM - there has never been any blood in her feathers. What a weight off my mind.  |

They definitely look alike! Awww! She is naughty. XD She's a bit depressed at the moment because her partner just died though. |
