Posted October 13, 200816 yr Hi all...I have a feather prob...Billy Bob has feathers comming out of his head that are only the stem...Ummm...i will try explain better...It seems to be the stem of the feather...He scratches quite a bit..Ive checked out the topics on mites and scaley face etc, but none of them touch on the feather thing...I dont have digi camera (broken) so i cant post a picture..I have also noticed he losses feathers from underneath, the soft downey ones.... He had great appertite and sings and plays...Any ideas please?...Cheers, Kirsty
October 13, 200816 yr He is moulting, thats all. Getting his new feathers and you notice more when they are appearing on his head. Here is Elly's Merlin moulting and here is one of mine moulting Edited October 13, 200816 yr by KAZ added photos
