Warming up - moult update 11

I managed to get a slow motion video of Glen with his wings out, and go through frame by frame, just to count how many feathers he has left to drop. 
Is far as I can count he has 4 on each wing and 4 left to drop on his tail. 



The warmer weather is comming back, but for how long?

I need at least a good three weeks of good weather to get glen to finish off his last few feathers, after the set back from this colder weather.

A new nest - moult update 10

After the hurricane the weather has been getting colder, and Glen's feather growth has slowed down. :(

So to keep him entertained I've made him a new nest. Built with a old hula hoop, it seems to be a lot more roubust than his last one. 



Best of all glen has not destroyed it, but instead has added too and improve it.

Hurricane - moult update 9

With a ex-Hurricane hitting the uk, I have had to lock down Glen's aviary, covering his open roof and open window to keep the 50mph winds out.
Luckily the wind dident cause any damage but Glen wasn't bothered by any of it.

Swinging and dens - moult update 8

With all this warm weather Glen is doing great and his feathers are growing supper quick!

Take a look at him now!


And to give glen something different to do in his house, a new den.
Don't know how long until he destroy it.
