Is this normal for owl finches?
I haven't been around in awhile, but my cordon bleu and society finches are doing great. . .and I now have a huge aviary in my house with about 10 finches. Two owls, one gouldian, one orange cheeked wax bill, two zebras, two societies and my bleu. One of the owls gets picked on by the other birds and I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for birds??? The zebras have been seperated into another cage because they are jerks. One of the owls just looks kind of messy all the time and constantly sits under the ceramic heater. He doesn't look sick. . . just a mess. They were moved into my apartment about three weeks ago and I have noticed the Gouldian poking at him.

Well
He is eating normally, in fact quite a bit. He was missing some feathers on the top of his head, but they have grown back. He just seems kind of rumpled, but otherwise normal. Maybe he's just a slob?
