I had a big long post but somehow it got deleted so I will keep this short and answer any other question if anyone has any. I have an about 20 year old sulphur created that I took in from an older lady. She got him from her son, whose wife brought him home from the pet store she worked at. The woman's son and husband would tease him through the cage, so he grew to viciously hate and attack men. The woman was the only one who could handle him and she could have him out when men were in the house so he was locked up in his cage for most of his life. She thought she was giving him the best care she could, but she never took him in the shower so he could only clean himself with his drinking water. Luckily he never plucked so he is fully feathered. Anyway, when I was finally able to take him home he had large flakes of skin/dirt over his nostrils. With showering one side has cleared up but the other still looks swollen. There is nothing the vet will do because it isn't an illness and he can still breath. What I want to know is if anyone has had this happen to their bird and what you did. Does he just need more showers? Or will it be permanent due to living in a dusty cage for so long. Even with all of the showers I give him he still is much dustier than my citron crested.
