Hello all bird mommies and daddies!!
My name is Casey and I have an Indian Ringneck Parrot, named Piper, about two years old. I had bought him from a breeder when he was very young and raised him and is my baby. Lately, Piper is on a very good diet; Zupreem pellet food (I then add vitamins), natural fruits and veggies (apples and blackberries are his favorite) and I will make him a batch of goop and separate it through the days. I am very lucky to work for my self, so I get to bring my parrot to work with me every day. He has a corner set up with a cage and toys in my office.
Piper has suddenly become bald and I don't notice him plucking himself. I have taken him to several vets and have blood drawn. They DO NOT know what is wrong with him!!! He does not have mites, nor PBFD. His tail is gone, all the feathers on his chest, and even all the feathers on his head, which is normally unusual if he was plucking. Although he still has his same loving and wanting to be with me personality and very active, he constantly screams.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?
