Why Is My Bird Losing All Its Feathers?
My bird is losing all its feathers and i don't know what it is, also he's losing feathers around his face. I don't seem to get it? He's always flying, talking and walking good except he's losing so much of his feathers. I clean his cage a lot so it's nice and clean and clean his water and bath water, but he's not getting any better. Should I take him to the vet?. Please help my bird. P.S it's a bugie

Birds could be molting naturally and it is also a healthy things. Secondly it is a sign of stress. Your bird might be upset and stressed. Thirdly in parrots, they self mutilate which means they pluck their feathers by themselves.

It sounds like your budgerigar has a mite infestation. Please take it to an avian vet for a proper diagnosis.
Birds do naturally loose feathers when moulting but this does not create bald patches. Bald patches are an indicator for mites or feather pulling. A stressed, unhappy, or traumatised bird may self mutilate (pull out their feathers) both parrots and cockatoos are prone to do this more so than other species... But they will usually only do it as a reaction to a traumatic situation. If a bird is feather pulling, then it too will need to visit avian veterinarian to diagnose why and possibly treat it for any infections. Your local avian vet can advise you about how to care for your budgerigar so that you can enjoy the company of a happy, healthy friend for many years to come.

Bird molt sometimes as well as ducks, but if the feathers don't grow back in a few weeks, take it to the vet.

Hi! Bugie, and owner, My mom kept noel by the air vent when he is molting and still is! His vet.. said not to put by the air, especially if it's running, the poor bird will get sick for sure, so keep Bugie out of the cool air! Bugie also needs to be on a special diet, you can get this at earlmay or any place where they sell bird's, or your Vet's...clinic.
I hope this helps some? Hope Bugie all the Well!!!!
