Why dose my cocktiel have a bald spot on his head?

Question

I bought him from a pet store when i got home i seen it.It has been about 4 months and it has not grown back.What is it and will it ever grow back.

Answer 1

Is you tiel a lutino? Lutinos have an inherent gene for baldness.

This gene can be passed on to other mutations as well (if 1 of the parents had this gene your bird if another mutation could be a split).

If I parent bird had this gene it is *possible* that the bald spot could grow in completely or fully as he gets older.

If both parents had the gene it won't grow back in.  

Answer 2

It means he is stressed or not happy in his environment if you make him feel more comfortable and give him affection (ok it is a bird but still) then he should settle down and get used to his new surroundings
