Question
My budgie has lost all his belly feathers, doesn't appear to intefere with his appetite, still playful and talking. What can I do? Please help

Answer
Hello Michele, you Budgie sounds like he may be stressed out over something. Often times budgies can act normal but still have the issues of a sick bird. Are there any cats near his cage that may harass him at times? Is there anything that may make him feel threatened in any way? Is he plucking the feathers out? Or are they just falling out?

I would suggest you take your keet to the vet and have a check up done.

Hope this helps Michele! Thanks.
