Hi there, I rescued a galah about 3 years ago from the road, She had been struck by a car and was injured.
Since then i have kept her as she wouldn'tve survived back in the wild with the injury to her wing.
The last 4 months she has been plucking her feathers, mainly from her chest and her back, She now has no pink feathers in those areas, they are now white,fine and fluffy.
She lives in the backgarden in a large cage, About 6 ft high and 3 or so metres wide, This is under an apple an apricot tree.
She is fed wild bird seed, grass, bottlebrush & fruit, I have rang a vet to come see her, as it would be too hard to remove her from the cage, This is in about 3 weeks though,
What could be wrong with her, I have heard of the possibility of a disease spread through foot and beak within wildbirds. She has a few times had wild birds in her cage when there was a gap.
How could i treat her?
Thanks in advance.
