Drowned rat? Porcupine? A fire-breathing dragon?
No, it’s a conure after his weekly shower, sporting his springtime pin feathers as new plumage grows in. It’s an itchy, slightly uncomfortable, tiring process for my little man. While he natures, I nurture, giving him extra cuddle time and reminding myself not to worry when he spends more time than usual in his mansion.
April and May in the northeastern part of the US has everyone on the lookout for the first robin of the year. I am privileged to see this beautiful bird in every season.
(For more information on how Piper grows new feathers, read my previous story, “Somebody Out There Wants To Preen You. Let Them.”)
