Black feathers – Dr. Lamb Webinar Feb 10


What can be the cause of small black feathers appearing on a female indian ringneck? just a few single feathers in different spots, on a wing or on a head


Answer:

I would suggest getting her checked out and getting blood work done and also analyzing her diet to make sure she is getting all the appropriate nutrients. If that all is good then it may just be a little individual variation that occurs for some genetic or other unknown reason.
