Flight Feathers Growing Back

User Question
My parakeet has pulled out a couple of his flight feathers completely. He cannot fly now and i was wondering if they will ever grow back and when?

Lisa's Answer
All feathers grow back. Parakeets lose and replace feathers constantly, just like your own hair on your head falls out and grows back in in a regular cycle. The flight feathers will definitely grow back, just be sure to feed your keet healthy food so he has the good nutrition to grow them in properly.
