Tail Feather Loss
If you have experienced tail loss and have some reaction, do please add a comment at the end of the article(s).

Major Request from Gerald Binks
I will be approaching many experienced breeders to write and submit articles for the site – along with their photographs of birds, their aviaries and themselves. That, however, does not prevent those less experienced from also contributing. There is great pleasure in seeing your work published and the benefits are profound.
