What is wrong with my budgie?

Question

Allthough he eats okay, and comes out of his cage and goes back in himself, he is losing feathers on his head. I thought his moulting was over. I have to leave him alone at the weekends for 3 days.(plenty food and water). could he be lonely. he his only 10 months old.

Answer 1

many birds will lose feathers over boredom you should get him some toys or a friend also make sure you give him some vitamins or supplements so that he doesnt get malnurished if you have another budgie and they are bored they could preen each others head till they both go bald

Answer 2

You could try adding some supplements to his water maybe your budgie is malnourished

Answer 3

You should probably just take him to a vet just to be sure that he's ok.  Whenever I bought new budgies I always chose two who seemed to like eachother.  Maybe get him a little mirror or a girlfriend?

Answer 4

Does he have any toys? I've heard this is also a sign of bordom amongst birds...but it's worth having a word with your vet before venturing out on stuff.

Answer 5

take him to the vets and i think it might be good to get him a friend LOL
