I think I saw white wings

So pretty much just now, Nutmeg stretched his right wing and it looked like there was a white substance under his wing almost plastering the feathers there. He's never shown any discomfort there and had just finished his moult.

I think it might be lack of nutrients in his diet, but I'm really unsure

Edit: I think this might call for a first proper vet visit, and I really don't think they would like that too!

What makes you think it is the nutrition? What are you feeding the bird and what is the bird eating? Its always a good idea to have you bird to an avian vet at least once per year for a wellness check up. Suggest you hold your bird, spread the wings and look at the feathers.

They are on a relatively bad seeded diet, I checked just now and I think it's gone, but I'll give him a bath in case it caused any discomfort.

We should be taking both birds to the vet's soon, we're just buying a carrier, and in the UK, there aren't many good ones
