Hi all
My boy Joey is slowly gaining more and more yellow feathers on his head with each moult. At first it was just two tiny little yellow feathers above his eyes (two years ago when I got him - unknown age). Now he has yellow angry eyebrows, a yellow patch above his nares, and a large yellow spot on his head. He is my baby boy and I love him so much. I have heard that sometimes yellow feathers can indicate liver issues. I will be booking an appointment with the avian vet when I can. But has anyone else experienced this with their linnies?
He's been on Harrison's High Potency Super Fine for a year and a half now. When I got him he was on a seed diet, then I got them on Tropican pellets, and then switched them to Harrison's High Potency. He also sneaks the budgie's seed on occasion, and likes to eat Harrison's bird bread and any fruit and veggies I offer. Is being on High Potency for too long a problem?
I'll get a picture tomorrow of where he's at now, but this is a bit of the progress with time from March 2019 to Jan 2020 (last year):
