Darker Sara on Monk Parakeet

Ircx_ · 5/12/21

My sara on my parrot has been darker, is this a sign of any disease?

I'm afraid I don't know what Sara refers to on the bird. Is there a word on here that matches the part you're referring to?

I think it's the cere...? I've heard it pronounced "cera", I believe.

Does your bird get a lot of sunlight? Sometimes the cere and eye rings can darken with sun

But their cere is covered with feathers

Without photos and more information I can only guess and bump up the thread :shrug:

Eta: I can only guess in general as I'm not a vet :lol:

Yes, I take him for walks, etc. Should I stop? I will attach a picture in a while.
