The petshop next to my office have a pair of cockatiel. Everytime I see them, its like they come to me and try to talk to me. And then they start singing. Really poison me. The pet stores want RM250 for the pair. Better than Toby's asking RM350 for one.

Guys,

I have a pair of peach-faced love birds which I bought separately around 6 months ago. One of them suddenly start to develop something on both side of the face. I am not sure how to explain it, something like a whole in the face. I have attached the photo.









By the way, can normal vets treat birds? Do you guys know anyone in particular in KL

Thanks for your reply crazymouse.

I went to see Hesmael's CLinic in Kota Damansara as he treats quite variety of pets and I have seen him with parrots.

So he says it's most likely the pair is plucking/over grooming his feathers not himself. He recommended to split them if possible at to give food which is more rich with Omega Fatty oil like sunflower seeds

The erratic behaviors he thinks its most likely epilepsy and nothing much can be done to a lovebird. He recommeded to give Vitamin B supplements for birds which helps strengthening the nerves.
