Hi Cheeky Welcome to the forum  From your description of your tiels moult it does sound like there is something abnormal going on. There are so many different causes of moult problems, and they can point towards an underlying health problem. Your best course of action would be to take her to your local Avian vet for a check up to rule out other causes. I honestly wouldn't take her to see someone who isn't an avian specialist as most vets in general practice have quite limited experience with birds. We do have a large number of contacts posted on here for avian vets - whereabouts are you located? |
