My Barraband is looking pretty rough at the moment. Just lately he has started breaking feathers on his tail and wings. This happened not long after i got him (april/may last year) while he was young and learning to fly (crashing a lot) and seemed to be just before he moulted. He is pretty good at flying now and hasnt broken a feather (until now) for a long time. I wonder if it has anything to do with an up coming moult? Or is there some other reason this could be occurring? He looks in good condition apart from the broken feathers, he was put in a new cage about November but has had plenty of time in it (and seems happy there) before this started.
He gets a seed pellet mix (though doesnt eat the pellets), soak seed, sprouted seeds, fruit and vege daily. He also gets a conditioning food every now and then, scrambled egg, pasta etc as a treat.
Thoughts?
