I wanted to show how Honey and Amber’s pin feathers are really coming along now but somehow when moulting the girls seem to have a loss of confidence and every time I got close to them they would turn away. I decided to take the photos when they are perched up tonight before bedtime and post about it tomorrow.<\/p>\n

My resident poser however was only too pleased to have her photo taken. Not only had she photo bombed a few shots when I was trying to photograph Honey and Amber but she posed in the apple tree right in front of me and I just couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

I love how she has dirt on the end of her beak and her wattles from pecking around in the soil. She is a great poser but maybe not a show girl.<\/p>\n

Emerald is a few days from completing the next seven days of flubenvet. She is still gaping but not so much. She is still not her usual self but she is dust bathing and preening. I am still hand feeding her as I have only seen her go to the pellets occasionally and very briefly. I think it is going to take time to get her back to normal. I still worry about her but am staying positive, as although very slowly, I think she is improving slightly. It’s been three weeks since she first started gaping.<\/p>\n

Her face is very pale but it has always been very pale so it isn’t easy to judge her by that. She still feels strong when I pick her up at bedtime. I think it is going to be a waiting game and we have to just hang in there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
