Itchy and Scratchy

The moulting stage for our chicks has begun!!
They are all looking rather cute and scruffy as their soft downy feathers fall out giving way to their fantastic adult wing feathers.
Now is a great time to see this special stage in the birds breeding cycle!! Our chicks are often seen stretching and flapping their wings in an attempt to rid themselves of any loose feathers and no doubt that irritable itchy feeling :)
