    She seems fine by the way. She is crawling all over my computer as we speak. The shead is not over her eyes.

    Is she head shy?

    Re: shed ?

    meaning if you touch anywhere near her head, will she snap back in fear?

    If a stuck shed bugs me enough, I will usually make some effort to remove it.

    she moves back, but the shead is not really hindering me. I just want to make sure its not bothering her or is a result of something I am doing wrong. Like I said I have double checked the temps and humids and they are fine. I guess I just want to be on the safe side. You know how it is.

    Re: shed ?

    If she isn't head shy, i'd say maybe go for it? Otherwise let nature takes it course, and i'm sure within a bit it'll eventually rub off. That happened with my BP when i had it, some on the head left over, was there for maybe like 4 days at the most, and then it was gone. Haven't had it with my Red-Tail, he's very headshy so i'd never try it on mine personally.

    If any of that even makes sense?

    If you want to try and get the shed off. Take a damp hand towel and hold it so she can move through it. A couple times through and it should come off.
