I just read all 12 pages. It was informative, sad and uplifting all at once. I'm so glad that Cirrus continues to thrive. He's amazing to see. I'm sorry he lost his pal shaggy and brother quill. But I was impressed with love and respect you gave them all. I'd love to see more pictures too. I'd love to hear him sing in his soft voice. Summer Link to comment

This is one of the problems with the feather dusters. Even when their protein is kept up and they are given a good life, there is no way to ensure that they will survive something as simple as a feather loss. Link to comment

It means a lot. Cirrus was moulting, which proved the "experts" wrong on that. He had normal pin feathers growing in, but they were just longer than normal. His weight was normal and all was doing fine. however, Cirrus, like Shaggy, started to develop these very strange feathers that were incredibly thick at the shaft, about 4 times thicker than a normal feather. These feathers were almost like dreadlocks in appearance and seemed to draw a lot of blood. If one came out, it would bleed profusely as a large artery was exposed. I have had to use pepper and pressure to stop the bleeding of these odd feathers before. I am sad i wasn't there to help Cirrus when he needed me most, but his end was always expected to be premature, so i was a little more prepared than normal. Link to comment
