I have a breeding pair. The female is Goin bald on top of her head. She's been going in her box a lot and the cock goes into sometimes..she's also missing her longest tail feathers and I can't find them anywhere.
I have just recently got a male cockatoo and out of all cages he always goes to there's and harass them. Female hides in the box n male sqwark and pecks back through the cage.
Female is white male is yellow with white tail. I'm thinking the lonely male cockatoo thinks she is a cockatoo and wants her. He has tried to break into the breeding box too.
So out of all that info my question is. ... why has my hen gone bald and lost her tail? ? Is this apart of breeding or is my cock attacking her trying to show dominance as there is another male wanting her?? Should I separate them??
