My green cheek conure is starting to bald on his head. I don't know if he is being plucked or not. It's been like this for about 5-6 weeks, but I never really thought into it until now, because I thought it was just molting. On closer inspection it seems as though the feathers he has there are thinning. I see a few feathers around the edge of the bald spot. know that they have little shafts when they grow back in. I am not sure if my other conure is plucking him or not, because they've been together for a year and he has only balded as of recent.
Also, I've noticed that sometimes his feathers on his lower head feel hard and rough. Should I separate my parrots for now? Also, if he was being plucked, will they grow back?
I'll try to upload pics if I can.- Parts of the feathers are on his head, but they are really thin looking and some of them look split in half. Sorry the pic is so bad.
