Hi everyone, I'm new on here and looking for some advice! My sister adopted my green cheek a few years ago when my circumstances changed. He is 8 years old and has just had his annual check up at our avian vet.
I've not seen him for a wee while and noticed today he has white feathers on top of his wings but even more on the underside. My mum said the vet said it might be a disease and may not be able to do anything to help. He's otherwise fit and healthy, well about 2grams heavier than they would like but active and cheeky as ever. I'm wondering if this is a nutritional deficiency though! He gets fresh fruit and veg every day but he's on a seed mix and I'm fearing this is damaging him. He's a lovely wee soul and just want to do the best by him.
My sister is on holiday so I'm wondering if this is a good time to change him to pellets (Harrison's?) while my mum is looking after him.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
