My Nanday Conure seems to have a full body rash or is it maybe his skin color? He has a pink tint to his skin but he isn't itchy that I can tell and he isn't plucking or over preening. His skin looks increasingly red to me though and I see a touch of redness around his eyes but they are completely fine otherwise. I at 1st considered that it might be his skin tone and it's just different than Ollie's but as time went on (about a week and a half since I had first noticed) it seemed to get more pink and red. Well at least in my mind. He seems fine otherwise, eating, pooping, playing and being a cute baby bird. One thing is I've noticed he isn't sleeping as well as he used to this last couple of weeks because we have a night vision pet cam in his sleep cage and he moves around a lot now as he used to just stay asleep. I'm wondering if his skin is bothering him. I'm going on a trip to France on Thursday and so my worries have heightened quite a lot. He will be in very safe hands while I'm gone as we are having our babysitter staying with the birds and keeping the routine whilst we're away. I have a vet appointment on Wednesday at 11am but until then I thought I'd see if anyone has had this happen to their bird before or if it's normal. Keep in mind he went to the vet when I got him a month and a half ago and got all the major tests done and has not been anywhere where he could have caught anything from other birds since then. Any help would be appreciated.
