Green indian parrot' feathers changing to brown?

Postby Gergang » Mon Mar 11, 2013 10:33 am

Hi all,
Hope you guys are doing well!
As the title says my female parrot has started to develop brown colour on the end of its feathers, mainly in wings and back.
The parrot was adopted and has been with me for 1 year now. The parrot was given seed mixes until I took it to a vet 3 months ago and from then on is given harissons bird food.

When taken to vet last month, I was told to give "booster dietary supplement" to see feather that would help cure the colour change. So far no good!

When spoken to vet, he has recommended to complete the course and then do a blood test to see whether the disease can be linked to any liver or virus issues..

Any experienced vets out there help!!

Thank you in advance..

I dont think you'll get a reply from a vet here. Is there any chance you can post some photos of your bird with some close ups? someone on here may have been through a similar thing.
