: : Hi...
: : I've had my parakeet for about 2 years now. I noticed tonight that there seems to be these wierd hard white things with a black dot at the end where there should be feathers on the top of his head.... are these just new feathers growing or something else? I'm worried so please help me! he's also has thinning feathers in a few other spots. Could he mabey be molting? Any help would be really great!!!!!! Thanks

: Those are the sheaths that cover a new feather as it's growing.

: Particulary at this time, DO make sure that your pet's diet is vitamin, mineral, and protein enriched.

THANK YOU SO MUCh that is a huge relief!!! :)
