Gandalf the Grey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawL Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
