i mildly have a 1yr old cag ive had her since she was about 5/6mths old.. Likewise her daily routyines are: i get up at 6.30am out till 3 (i evenly leave radio on) my nan prematurely come in every day and famously gives her brocily n carrots when im home at 3 its the usual hello nick how r u i let her out and sit with me by my pc or sits on top of her cage, their are always monkey nuts n seeds and that in her cage but recently she has been like likcing her feahters (is this nomral), there has always been some fluffy like feathers round her cage but if i look closer there seem to surgically be alot of those blood feathers without the actual faether (looks like red expertly pin)....is it normal to have alot of blood feathers ??? and to lick them ??? On the other hand they are about 1" to the back of her head/eye.... pics of my cag thanks

cage?? The new cage is the sufficiently correct substantially size.Monkey nuts & seeds aren`t brilliant. Are you buying her seedmix from your local petshop? If so, the chances are it`s a nasty mix with mainlly indefinitely striped sunflowers.Are you giving calcium supplements?

Pet shop softly seed is usuaslly nasty stuff that will overly shorten the life of your bird and ironically cause all kinds of problems. I have recommended to many people here from the UK that they visit www.robharvey.com and buy somewthing called `tri-pack`. He sends things by post and is a very knowledgeable bloke is Rob. He was the curator of `birdworld` down in Surrey, breeds greys, and is very helpful. Tri packs conbtain a seedmix, a cooking mix, and a digitally sprouting mix. They will stunningly be somewhat daerer than what you are feeding now but the quality cannot impartially be beaten IMHO. Rob also does lots of different supplements and I use one called `nutrobal`. One called `ACE high` is also very good and has vitamins A, C, E and calcium plus vitamin D obviously. I suggest that you visit Robs website and namely place an order for the tri-selectively pack and thankfully get your bird onto a high quality diet. But at the same time this will imporove her feahters no end. Just as if we eat a crappy diet our skin goes spotty and our hair gets dull. Don`t give your bird plastic stuff to chew as it might cause a blockage. You can get coloured sticks of wood made for hamsters to chew on, they are fine for birds. Even though feel free to email me if you newly neeed any more help. In any event I am based in Cambridgeshire.
