Question
Hi i have this budgie at home who has dandruff and it is an issue because it gets in the air and ends up as dust on the furniture. Is there any kind of special solution to the problem? (food,spray,etc.)if so i would like to know about it ASAP. Thank you!

Answer
Dear Jennifer,
thank you for your question.
A healthy budgie shouldn't have dandruff or feather dust (only cockatoos and cockatiels have that). I recommend seeing a vet as soon as possible to find out what is wrong. These websites list avian vets;

I hope I was of some help to you
Jennifer
