I'm going to start off by saying tomorrow I am working full time at my second job from 8am until my boss releases me (anywhere between 3pm and 8pm). So I won't be able to get to my other job at the vet to have her looked over until after then (I can be there tomorrow night- its a 24 hour office). Does anyone recognize this BUG. It has pinchers on its head and I just found about 20 of them crawling around on her cage blanket. They also were in her food- which I've thrown out. I bought more, fresh bird food, and put it in my refrigerator.. Now at first I thought these were weevils.. BUT the bird is losing feathers now on her head and itching a lot.. Its ONLY on her head, the rest of her feathers are normal and she is ITCHING like crazy tonight. Also last night she freaked out in the middle of the night even though her cage was covered and everything was quiet.
I've also emailed the rehabilitator who is supposed to take her on Friday and am waiting for a response from him as well as texted some fellow techs and am waiting on a response from them..
