[jenniferdiane]

hi all my green cheek conure is 2 years old and since yesterday under both of his wings where he had nasty grey scruffy feathers the other day,now he has a bold patch under both is wings ive checked to make sure there his no blood patches etc but its all clear his skin is pure pink there doesn't seem to be any signs of irritation or anything on him where his skin is I can see white bumps where the feathers used to be,he is fit and well eating playing his this quite natural please

It sounds like he may need to see an avian vet to ensure he's healthy. He could have some feather destructive behaviors related to health issues... such as a bad heart, over-sexed/enlarged sexual organs, or something else going on causing the feather loss.

took him to the vet tonight and vet said he doesn't have mites that a good thing he said because hes 2 yrs old he could be sexually frustrated or just a bit distressed only thing I can think of that happened 2 days ago was I took his bed out to wash and also we have birds nesting in the guttering its mind boggling,The vet said to try and distract him when hes pulling at feathers and hopefully he will stop but has for the missing feathers I hope they will grow back soon hes gone from a pretty conure to a new born with no feathers lol
