Bird Experts: Help, My Tiel is lop-sided.
:shrug:

My bird is lop-sided, the outer feathers on one side are longer than the ones on the other. I know they lose feathers and all, but. :shrug:

They were okay 6 weeks ago when she had her wings clipped. :evilgrin:

My poor babe is lop-sided. :( :hug:

1. They're just not growing evenly.
You can cut the long feathers down to size, if you feel comfortable doing it.

This seems to happen more frequently as they get older.

3. She's just not even......
she can balance alright and is as ornery as ever, I'm just wondering why the feathers are longer on one side than the other.
