when i got my cockatiel all of his tail feathers were broken off. Well it's been about 2 months now and i think some of the smaller feathers are starting to grow in. Here is my problem, every day i let Sokar out of his cage he tries to fly. He has no wing feathers. This results in more broken feathers in his tail area. Should i just not worry about it till he gets his wings and then the tail can grow in? Or will all this breaking of feathers somehow damage the growth areas of those feathers. I'm sorry this question is oddly phrased, i'm not really sure what i'm asking. Thank you.
