- Yellow-sided conure named Mazzy

My conure has been very very very itchy for a month, maybe more. She also started dropping feathers so I assumed she was plucking, or was allergic to something, or worse.
A week after this started she started showing pin feathers but not in all the places she was dropping feathers, and not in proportion to them either. A week or two after that they started showing up much more, just starting to bud out of her head and other places she'd lost feathers more heavily.
I realize that they must start getting itchy before they actually break through their skin, and so the cause of itchiness wouldn't be apparent for a little while.
She's still losing some every day, but it's not by the pile anymore. The dropping is on and off, and she's still really itchy.
It's so hard. I can't wait til it's over.
