| softer feathers?!! |
 |
|
I noticed that when I changed my birds' diet, Oskars feathers got brighter and more healthy looking...which is what I expected.
but, can a change in diet (for the better) maybe make his feathers softer?
I think I may just be hallucenating (which I can't spell) |

It is said that a change in diet can make the feathers softer. (At least, that's what the Harrison folder wants to make us believe.. They have a product to sell!)
But I've heard from people here that feathers have become softer indeed when they started to feed Harrison! |

Well, the only comparison with soft and softer feathers I made was as a child, with our pet chooks. Our boss chicken Prissie had the softest feathers out of the 6 of them, probably because she got all the best food and whatnot, and feathers got a little rouger as you went 'down the ranks' hehe. |
