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...
