I have a lovebird with a problem and am looking for help.
When I bought him a few months ago he had been picking his belly feathers, I took him to the vet for a check and was told that it's just due to his previously stressful environment.
Now it's a few months later and he has still been picking, I've noticed over the last few days that he's been a little fluffed up and not as perky looking. I took him to the vet again who said that it's just the change of seasons but I don't agree.
The only other difference is that he has these yellowish bumpy spots by his left eye and a patch under his one leg. His cage mate is 100% and they have not been exposed to any other birds for 3 months. I see no visible mites.
I've attached a photos, the lumpy part is to the back on the white ring, and it's difficult to see but the other spot is under his leg.
Any ideas on what I can do at home since the vet seems to think it's perfectly fine?
