Birds and thoughts

Yaknow, when people marvel at the beautiful plumage of birds and envy their ability to fly, somehow we never get around to longing for pinfeathers growing out of our *faces*. Seriously, Ow.

Also, Gavin has a big ol' spiky bloodfeather poking out of the middle of his wing that looks downright painful. Yep, moulting time at the Jackel-flock.

Gav is, however, leaving his feathers the heck alone and is starting to look really nice again. yay!

I'm about to head to the East Bay, visiting friends.
