Hi all,
I just wanted to know your opinion on my budgies appearance. She has brown feathers around her cere. This has happened before in the past when she has been moulting, she tends to get a bit scruffy. I have noticed she has pin feathers on her head and she is itchy, rubbing her head on the perch.
Her brown cere is also peeling off which I understand to be normal but it almost looks wet. I worry about mites with a budgie. Should I pick up some mite spray just in case?
It is a public holiday in Australia tomorrow so an urgent reply is appreciated as it will be more difficult to get in to see a vet.
Otherwise her behaviour seems normal, active and healthy other than a bit sleepy which happens during a moult as well.
