Re: Normal or not for Color
Just an update.... Vet doesn't believe it's PBFD and didn't recommend testing quite yet.. He thinks it's nutitional...and has me trying a different pellet for a few months while i keep an eye on him for any further changes. Since he's a solo pet bird, not at risk of getting any other birds sick, and...

Re: Normal or not for Color
I have a very good Avian Vet that we go to....so i'm sure he'll be able to examine him more carefully. I just hope i don't have to wait the 3-6 weeks to find the results though..... Interestingly enough, I did get him from a petstore, and luckily with how contagious it is, he is a solo pet bird. Tha...

Re: Normal or not for Color
I can tell you that he has always fanned his tail whenever he steps up. he's missing the feathers on the tail right now....don't know if that makes a difference.

Re: Normal or not for Color
Beaker's on a Pellet diet. Gets a few seed/nuts for snack, and has fresh veggies every day. (loves any and all peppers and broccholi!!) Has quite the appetite
Believe it or not...he won't eat any fresh fruit!! only dried..but that is a sometimes treat.

Re: Normal or not for Color
When i got him, I was told he was a Turquoise. Unfortunately, I do not know any info on the parents and didn't think to ask. I do know he had an interesting mix of siblings. 1 grey, 2 turquoise(one of them being Beaker) and one very marbled looking turquoise/green. (more marbled than my blue/white) ...

Normal or not for Color
Hello, I will say that Beaker is going through a first molt right now...and is about 10 months. Prior to molt, he was a pretty tourqoiuse, is it normal to have the Blue/white marbled feathers? Is this what his coloring will be when molting is over or will he go back to blue? At 5 months http://i1238...
