So I've had my IRN: Chief since December and all signs point to him being quite young. Curiously he has always had a kind of bald 'line' across his head with a small patch above one eye.
Recently he's been shedding a lot of feathers and the scruffy/balding area is noticeably worse. I feed Chief zupreem pellets appropriate for a bird his size, lots of corn on the cob, banana and peas, so I think his diet is good and he's showing no signs of illness or depleted energy.
Is he just a rough molter? Or should I be concerned?
You can kind of see it in this picture. It looks worse than that now, more of a 'dot' shape these days.
