Conure loosing feathers? And treat tip.

Postby Ashwin1224 » Sun Dec 18, 2011 3:57 am

Hi all,

My 9 month old :sun: seems to loosing his feathers. A small patch of grey feathers has appeared on his chest. He is still not yellow, just a bit on the head rest is green. Could this be normal? Like 5-6 of his feathers coincidentally came off Or is it some sort of ailment?

And another que I have is about Dog chew sticks. I havent tried them, but I dont see harm in giving a small stick to a parrot. Its just a long shot and I may be dramatically wrong, but what do you guys say?

Hi. It sounds normal to me, he is just molting. This happens with every bird.

About the dog chew sticks, I am not sure to be honest. Maybe someone will more experience on that matter will reply.
