My parrot has a bald patch, i'm really worried.

Hey everyone, really need your help.

I've noticed my parrot has a bald patch on his chest(right in the middle).

is it normal molting?, or should i be worried?

I wanted to post a picture, but it is only visible from certain postures.

it is about 1cm on 1/2 cm in size.

plz help me out.

Many parrots can aggresively overpreen themselves and cause small bald spots. It usually from itchy skin. Put a little aloe gel on the spot and the itch will lessen and the feathers will come back in. It may take a while though if your bird is actually molting. It sounds like a very little spot. Just be patient.

Dave has great advice. Sophie doesn't seem to itch much. I am just thankful, I haven't had issues with her. Best of luck! Nancy

I would definitely follow the advice Dave gave you, and also keep an eye on her. If you happen to catch her in the act of plucking (not saying that is what it is) then a visit to your avian vet is in order. Good luck!
