I'm looking for help identifying and hopefully treating this skin issue with my sister's lovebird. The issue started when he was furiously rubbing the back of his neck on his food dish to get her attention. Eventually it seemed that the feathers stopped growing back, and he started itching, flapping, biting, and screaming at the back of his neck. So much now that it's beginning to bleed.
Can't find much on the web about bird health, but I'd like to alleviate his suffering ASAP if anyone has some knowledge about it please share! He's an 8 year old peach headed love bird and mostly eats pellets, millet, and sunflower seeds.
If you don't know what it might be, please spare me the "TAKE 2 DA VET NAO" please, because I'm already upset enough that the poor guy is suffering and I'm too ignorant to know what the problem is, let alone afford to pay for it. Anyways, I'm for what the forum is listed to be for - quick self help until we can hopefully afford a avian vet.
