Orange weaver finch feather plucking
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 4:56 pm
Hello Finch Forum,
I got, what I believed, were two female weaver finches from the local pet store in January.
Turns out that one sings and started showing orange butt feathers- so I think it's actually a boy. (S)he has since plucked all of its chest, bottom, and upper back feathers. (S)he's still singing, eating, flying- generally seems healthy- minus the feather loss.
I need help to know what to do to help him, my vet is out of options. I am brand new to finches, and to the forum, and would welcome the groups' help. Thank you very much!
