Moult progress

Day 13 of Glens moult.

2:15PM in the aviary, Glen has dropped his first feathers,
with all the sunshine and heat over the previous days have kick started his moult.
It should take approximately 5 to 7 days until his next set of flight feathers drop.

Glen has been dining on fine food from chicken and pheasant, to rabbit and quail. Heck he's getting better food than me! A good varied diet for him to eat everyday, should give Glen more nutrition than he needs, to help him grow strong healthy new feathers. Just a shame the last couple of days the weather has been rather miserable, we want the sun and heat back to help those new feathers grow!
