youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 my male harris still hasnt dropped any primary or tail feathers since his first at the end of march he is really late this year he had dropped a few by now this time last year. and the years before that. he has been being fed on mainly pigeon and the odd magpie, with chicks 1 day a week all supplemented with verm x. i recon its been the cold weather hopefully this warmer weather will make him get a move on. so how about yours dropped many or like mine being slow with the weather?

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 its doing my head in goin in everyday and still seeing him with all the feathers, at least if he was dropping them i wouldnt be doubting whats goin on. verm x has always given me alot of confidence whilst moulting the bird although i got a brouchure stating that it decreases moult time but compared to when i havent used it im not convinced it does, however i do notice that his feathers have a more oily and silky look and doesnt dry as quick or damage as easy through the season Quote Link to post
