Skittles is about 5 years old, we think he is a male. A couple of months ago he started showing signs of aggression and biting behaviors. We decided to get him a companion, a female green cheek conure who is about 18 months.
They bonded really well and were showing signs of breeding, we put a nesting box inside their cage and for a while things were good. A couple of days ago, Skittles looked like he had been evicted and was not being close to Sherbet(female). Then he started losing his feathers, first around his rear and under his wings, today I got up and his chest has been plucked bald. The poor bird looks a mess!! They still mate every day, what do I do?
