Always be still for ages until all the feathers are in a nice pile then fly around scattering them all again

I have couple corners where they gather naturally so I leave these until last, as soon as I pull them out into open the buggers start flapping and off they go up in the air floating all about thenTrev wrote: Sun Sep 04, 2022 10:04 pmIf my neighbours heard me moaning at my birds every time they blew the feathers around they'd have called the men in white suits

Be a bit lumpy mate all those bones
Did yours start later than mine, could be the reason
Possible
Mine started early so that's why mine bit further I think, have had latebreds moulting fully which never had before and most unusual I thinkAndy wrote: Thu Oct 13, 2022 7:43 am Mine arenβt quite as bad. Most of the youngsters, apart from the later bred ones, have gone through the majority of the body moult and now only have one or two flights to go. The old birds are still heavy in the moult especially around the head and neck.
