Hi there,
I recently got a green cheek conure who is now 7 months old. When i got him, he still had quite a few pin feathers as he was 15 weeks at the time, and he also had what looked like broken grey feathers on his back, but i just assumed they would go away as he got older.
However 3 months later, he still has them, although the feathers on his head seem perfectly fine and soft.
Hes a happy, playful bird and he doesnt seem to over groom. He is a bit of a picky eater. What could be the cause of the broken feathers and what can i do to make them grow normally?
