Hello,
I've noticed something strange with my lovebird recently. He started molting a while ago and I've noticed him making little "annoyed/bothered" sounds when preening himself. I think he is also over-preening himself. I called the vet and she said that its likely new feathers are being bothersome most likely.
Yesterday I found a large (I think wing?) feather in the cage that had some black inside the shaft. Not a lot, but I've never seen that before. Today, I heard him make the "bothered" sounds again and a second later I saw another one of those feathers inside his beak. I think he may have pulled it out. The feather had a dark spot inside the shaft again (very base of it). Both times the feathers appeared grown.
I'm getting quite worried now, PBFD come to mind etc
Any idea? Will call vet again
