    Bald Spot on Grey Cockatiel?

    I know that it is normal for lutinos/other mutations to have bald spots on top of their heads but recently my female grey cockatiel has developed a bald patch atop her head, behind her crest. She is currently going through her first moult and she is 6 months old. Could it be because she is...
