All my males have lost their train feathers and new have started to grow however I have a 2 year old Emerald Spalding that still has about 5 trailing behind him. Should I be concerned? There isn't some sort of condition that can cause this to happen, is there? Do some of you have peacocks still carrying some train feathers? Thanks.
