hey, i was looking at Bing before and i noticed his blue cheek spots and i was wondering if they open up? cause it looks like they still have the wax coating over the feather, both sides are the same, thanks...

Andrew, are you able to post a picture of what you mean . As I am confused about "Wax" ???? and Opening up

what i mean is pin feather on his cheek spots, they haven't opened they look like normal pin featers but blue and none of them are open i will post a picture a bit later if you need a further description :budgiedance:

Because Bing is on his own he doesn't have a budgie friend to preen those hard to reach spots and removed the coating. You might need to just give him a gentle rub/scratch on the cheek to help them open.

i try that but half the time he just attacks my finger, sometimes he starts attacking it then he realises what im doing and lets me do it but other than that i cant get to scratch him, in the first month or so he did but that was because he was scared

get a natural rough branch / stick for him to preen on and scratch his own head.

This will save your fingers :budgiedance:
