Sorry to return on this note but this is very weird.
Yesterday, Simba (2 yr old sun conure) was completely normal. But today, he's sleeping a little more than usual and fluffing his feathers on his breast area. Usually he's not fluffy unless he's out with us, and he's never this fluffy around his breast area. Upon touching it, it doesn't feel like a mass, just feathers, but it's strange because I haven't seen so many feathers until today.
Here are my possible explanations:
1) There was a little mistake today and he didn't end up getting fed for longer than he is accustomed to. It's embarrassing to admit, but we all make mistakes. One time when he was younger the same 'oops' happened and a similar episode occurred. But he doesn't seem interested in eating, although he did eat a little bit and looked better afterwards.
2) I feel a little colder than usual, and Simba is by a window. It's 70 in our house, but it might be colder by the window.
Do you guys have any explanation for the weird breast feathers? They look stranger to me. Is this a sign of him being overweight? I don't weight him as regularly I should, but over the course of two years he's stayed at 120-125, him being 121 grams now.
He sounds normal and was acting normal until about an hour ago, so I don't know what the deal is. Do you guys have any ideas?
