Hello friends, I bought a roughly 2 year old peacock from a friend who didn’t want to care for him due to lack of time and space.
So we have had him 10 months and although he is very skiddish and will not let us touch him he adjusted so well! He grew in a long beautiful train and feathers. Now his wings look awful! It looks like his wings are being pecked at. One side seems to be almost gone… so short and stubby. As well as his tail fathers are sparse and pitiful looking.
We have him a high roost in the coop but he is having difficulty jumping off. He crashes into the window. Could that cause damage to his wings?
We also haven’t seen him picking at his wings but something is definitely off.
Someone suggested we get him a peahen cause he might be lonely and self picking..
Anyone experienced this or having any advice?
