Scruffy "ugly" chest feathers???


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

For the past few weeks I've noticed that Tequila is looking a little "ugly" around the chest area.

 

I've taken him to the vet who says that he's just being a bit rough with his feathers. I was given a mineral supplement to mix with his water.

 

The look of his feathers hasn't really improved. Could this be the start of his molt? Or should I take him to see a different vet?

 

Here's some pics. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Good advice from jeffNOK. Babies are learning to trim themselves, and often don't look pristine when done. If you think your bird is over trimming, encourage a different activity. I have never been able to recognize a molt with my grey. My Amazon... a different story! We were always on DEPCON 3 when Kiki was molting! Our Amazon! Sophie always initiated the alert! Sophie has overtimmed a few times, but more like you are seeing. Just learning Nancy
