Sun conure bald near tip of eye

[MMT123]

He is about 10 months old now. He has been very healthy and lively since he was brought home, and he is still the same now, but he has always had a bad habit of scratching his face with his hands. In the feathering stage, the underside and sides of the two eyes are slightly convex. Compared with the bare skin near the middle of the eyes, the area where the hair is shed is rougher, but our veterinarian said that there is nothing wrong with it, and I still I'm a little worried, so I'm asking everyone here

I just took a piece of dead skin off his bald spot

It is very possible that your Parrot is molting body /head feathers and has lost a couple around the eye. Commonly, what we are concerned about around the eye is the feathers being wet from sinus drainage, which can be a precursor to a sinus infection.

I hope that this helps!

He sure is a cutie! Does he bathe in water, or let you mist him? I wonder if it might help as new feathers come in. I haven't had a conure, but my ringneck's face looked like a horror movie when he went through a big molt last summer.

Thank u! He sneezes occasionally, but doesn't wet his feathers

Thank u! I also have a 5 year old GCC and she doesn't look like this when she moults but is spread out evenly everywhere and both birds like to bathe in the water basin

I have to say that this is the first time I have ever seen a parrot literally "picking his nose"!

He does it almost every day, don't know if it's because of illness

I have seen a few parrots do this, mostly cockatoos.
