my dad let paki out the today and he got her out by grabbing her. she did come out and she had a great ole time but when it was time to back in she kept running away and my dad grabbed her tail feathers and they came off!!!!!! like 8 long feathers came out, oh im sooo nervous, will she be all rite and will the feathers grow back???? we got her back in when she climbed the radiator and we put the cage rite next to her. will she be all rite ????????? plz help!!!!!

Sounds like one of two things might have happened - either your dad just managed to pull out the feathers, or Paki got scared and spontaneously molted. This can happen sometimes if they recieve enough of a fright.

Assuming that no blood feathers were broken or anything like that, Paki should be fine. Just give her a lot of TLC, and don't grab her again!

If you have to "grab" a parakeet to get it out...it obviously doesn't want to come out. Is it finger trained? If not, DO NOT take it out. That's a VeRY bad idea. So, finger train paki then paki will step onto your hand and then you can take him/her (i don't know) out.

wats TLC?? and no shes not finger trained it was my dads idea to take her out

TLC Tender Loving Care

She'll be fine like Sushi'n'Stitch said as long as no blood feathers were pulled out.

how do i know if blood feathers came out?? im so nervous!!!

I did some research on the internet and found a nice piece of information......

When is a blood feather dangerous?

The danger with blood feathers occurs if a feather is cut, broken, or bent. Because the feather has an artery and vein, a damaged blood feather will bleed, often profusely. Once a broken blood feather begins bleeding, the simplest solution is to gently remove the damaged feather by pulling it.
