Hi, all. A little bit ago, I was looking at Chirp while he was on my finger, and I noticed he's missing some feathers near his vent. He also seems to be missing some on his chest, but unless you move aside the top ones gently, you can't tell. My dad is out at the moment, but when he get's back we're going to call the vet and ask her what she thinks.
Here are some other details that might be worth noting:
Thanks in advance.
Here are some other details that might be worth noting:
- He always has a bowl of about 90% pellets to 10% seed in his bowl. He sifts through for the seeds, and I haven't seen him eating pellets (yet). He at least recognizes them as food. I've been trying to get him to eat chop, little bits each day, but he doesn't seem to be interested.
- His poop seems to be normal.
- He has a shredding toy in his cage (one of those birdie kabobs)
- Unless I'm out of the room or sleeping, his cage door is always open. He has 2 playstands, and two perches on the outside of his cage.
- I'm going to be upgrading to a bigger cage soon (which will be 32 inches width by 20 inches depth by 52 inches height, including the stand in the height)
- Other than the missing feathers, all seems to be normal. Eating, playing, climbing, and acting fine.
Thanks in advance.
