I just got her two days ago, she's my first bird, 9 months old, I was told her previous owner had neglected her somewhat? She's very sweet, doesn't bite, doesn't want to leave cage but when out she's good on hand and at stepping up.
Sadly my experience is limited. She was 2.1 oz but quaker average is 3-5 oz, though she's 9 months old?
Could she have mites? I put white paper under her in the cage but didn't notice anything shining a light inside at it.
Is this allergies?
Could she be molting?
I plan to take her to the vet but not sure if I need to take her to the emergency vet today. Unfortunately the emergency that is not an avian specialist. Though i may be able to find one.
Appreciate any feedback, I'm just so new to birds, I've been a lot of studying and research but apparently that only goes so far and I'm not sure where my blind spots are.
