My Budgie, Romeo, is balding. He has started losing feathers just above his cere. He was paired with another budgie, Stella previously but they had no luck so we have put him in a cage with Rosie to see if we can get any results. Rosie has had one clutch of eggs to a different male. They are both old enough to breed.

 

One more thing, we have a mouse roaming around and i think it may be getting into the cage. I put some ratsak out last night so hopefully that will get rid of that!

 

Any advice? He doesn't seem any different. He is still a great singer, he gets around fine, he is eating and drinking.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks

he would be having a heavy moult. Have you changed their seed brand or anything recently??

Location would indicate moult, but a photo would help.

Sounds like moult to me, and as such he is definately not in breeding condition.

I agree with Dean. No moulting budgie should be breeding.
