"Bongo" - Green Cheek Conure
“Echo” - Indian Ringneck
"Chicken" - Sun Conure, rest in peace, my precious friend.
I have a vet appointment on the 28th for both my birds, the soonest i could get them in short of an emergency.
This recieved zero response on another bird group i’m in on Facebook- anyone here ever seen a parrot’s feathers gain a gorgeous yet alarming pattern of rippled stripes? They appeared this month with Bongo’s molt, along with loads of vibrant colors in her feathers. She’s never been more rainbowy, glossy feathered, shimmering holographic colors.
I am familiar with stress bars, the black discoloration. Bongo does have one single feather with a few black marks, the rest of them are all normal and vibrant - with the exception of the new stripes.
I can’t easily capture it in my ipad camera, its very subtle unless the light catches. She has some wing joint feathers that shownit incredibly obviously because it’s blue stripes on yellow / pale green.
It’s gorgeous, but I’m worried it could be a sign of a health or diet issue? Hoping to have some input before the appointment or know if I need to rush her in earlier.
Bongo is a yellow sided green cheek conure, who has gone from a very drab, ratty feathered parrot with malnutrtiion to a shimmering gem of rainbow feathers, and she’s a little over seven years old now. (Might be eight, I always forget the exact timeline but I have her hatchdate year written down in her file xD)
