    Is it PBFD?

    Does it look like PBFD? I noticed a the bald spot under the beak of my 3 months old Alexandrian parrot. And also his beak looks damaged a well as his tail feathers (pics are attached). I live in Oman and there is no PBFD testing here. I also have 2 G&B macaws.

    Macaw feathers going black

    Hi, My 2 year old B&G macaw, Jay, is having some feather issues. They've been getting worse over the last few weeks and I'm worried. Quite a lot of her feathers are turning black. She gets a variety of fruit in her cage changed regularly (everything is on the ok list for her to eat - I check...
