Hi, my name is Jonah. I have two beautiful Pearly parakeets. The first one we got was a rescue, and had some feather problems. The woman we bought her from stated that here cage mate were plucking her feathers, so when we got her, she was missing some of her tail feathers and some minor feathers in her neck.
Our thought was that she would recover. She had already started regrowing some feathers on her tail. These feathers were lighter in color, more pink then their healthy wine red color. Every time she regrows these "damaged" feathers, they just falls out. She isn't plucking, we have been monitoring her for the past year. We have been to the vet countless times, she has been treated for paracites, and taken bloodtests from, with no result.
The vets where I'm from (Norway) have little to no experience with parrots, So I was hoping you could help with insight.
Thanks in advance
