Posted February 17, 200817 yr My bird sits on my knee when he is preening himself and I have noticed little bits of what looks like skin,small little white pieces.... So I just want to know what this is and if I should be concerned or not.
February 17, 200817 yr Nope no concern, the white that you see is their skin and the downy feathers that they have. What a cutie :hap:

February 17, 200817 yr :ygbudgie: Yes, those spikes would be new feathers coming in and that other stuff I call "budgie dandruff", it's perfectly normal, (or any bird for that matter does the same thing, cockatiels have a lot of dander), you should see my shoulders sometimes! :hap: Edited February 17, 200817 yr by Phoebe
February 17, 200817 yr Oh yes the spikey head look (Laughing out loud) those are called pin feathers and the sheath will come off and he will look beautiful once again :hap:
