Talk about bird illnesses and other bird health related issues. Seeds, pellets, fruits, vegetables and more. Discuss what to feed your birds and in what quantity. Share your recipe ideas.
Young birds ALWAYS have ruffled and messed up feathers up until they are about 2 years old , some of my birds feathers are halfway bald. The black on the feathers on your bird are stress marks, or it means it has not had a lot of time siting in the sun. Hope this helps!
