Scares me, that's for sure.

Ack...a year old, and no feathers? Geez, what's she been doing to it? Or
does it have PBFD?
I heard of a case like that up here last year. Someone called Adair
asking for help with their first-hatched baby Mollucan. Seems the lady
didn't know when the baby should be standing up and walking. Adair asked
how old it was, and it was 16 weeks old! The woman had been feeding it
mostly watered-down Gerber baby food with a pinch of Exact for flavor.
It ended up severely stunted, calcium deficient and spraddle legged.
After much begging from Adair, the woman DID take it to our vet, but we
don't know how it turned out, because Adair was afraid to call back and
hear the worst...
>THis lady only has one and first
>baby bird which she fed from four weeks of age.
Hmmm, sounds like the woman from up here moved to Florida...
