788.0. "Sterile Papa? No.. Too many feathers" by CSOA1::DIRRMAN () Fri Apr 02 1993 14:42

    
    Just a lttle tip for those who are breeding. I had a pair that had
    successfully mated three times, then they had two clutches that
    were not fertile. I went to a bird show and started asking around
    to see if anyone else had the problem. Finally ran into a person
    that said - his feathers around the vent may be too thick.
    Well -- we went home a did a trimming job and now we have fertile
    eggs (due to hatch in 7 days). I would have never thought of that
    one!!
    
    Hope this helps someone else...
