    Red face Oxy lost his tail

    well about 2 weeks ago Oxy lost his 1st tail feather, and I have been waiting anxiously for the 2nd. Prince lost his within days of each other, and after the first one dropped, u could see the 2nd was coming and was a great discomfort to him. Oxy has shown no signs of dropping his 2nd.
    I just went over to the cage where oxy was sitting to play ball, and this is what i saw.

    i went on a search for his lovely feather, and now i have both

    measuring in at 23.5cm, its no comparison to prince's 35cm, but prince is 3 yrs older

    Do they only have 2 tail feathers each?

    no they quite a few tail feathers, there tails taper and when in flight fan out. But the top 2, are the really long ones and the most beautifully coloured. They look funny without the long tails
