Cocoa has been loosing feathers left and right lately. When I was little I used to save all of them, but at some point I realized that was silly because there's just so many of them! I think she's been having a particularly long and hard molt this year, so I'm hoping it ends soon for her. About every hour I'll hear her cry out from preening too hard on a new pin feather - luckily she's kept up her spirits and hasn't lost any of her spunky nature or stubbornness (she's a very stubborn bird, and I always give into her - for better or worse!).
