Well, he grew his feathers back on his chest, then a few weeks later started to lose them again, and now they are growing back again. BUT.....what is worrying me is that he has almost stopped swearing!!!! His main phrases now are "Stop it" closely followed by "Give up." AND he is talking in a quieter voice. Just wanted to share that bit of lightheartedness with you, seeing as I am bored as there is nothing on TV only football! Maybe he is just maturing
good on ya Tweet!! keep at it mate, you give us all a laugh even those of us who can't here you,
Me and my friend were watching the youtube of Disco the Budgie,,,well he calls himself a Parrakeet. Has anyone seen this and is he talking for real like that??, can they really natter along like this?. Its very funny.
I took little Tweet back to the vet's this evening with the chest feather problem, he's no better. She doesn't know what it is but has taken a photo to email to a colleague at a practice about 40 miles away. Should hear from her in a couple of days. Tweet was so pleased to get back home into his normal cage; he's bashing his toys now!! Will let you know when I hear anything. I told the vet that he swears and she asked what he says. (I didnt tell her
)
aaww poor Tweet, do they think it may be some type of mite, or an allerty to something?
He has been treated for mites last time I took him, CB. The vet did ask if he was pulling his feathers out himself, but he isnt and she also realised it would be virtually impossible for him to reach to that part to pull them out, he'd have to be a contortionist; not Tweet is many things, but he ain't one of those - yet! 
Thanks for your good wishes, peeps; will keep you updated as I know we love animals/pets on this site. xxx
Its a shame you could not video him swearing ha ha ha,,, oh im a devil. I just think birds are so funny. My friend and me are waiting to see if her Ringnecked parrot is going to start talking. Gawd knows what shes going to come out with with us about!!! LOL.
Hugs Tweet,tweet tweet,,,tweet tweet,,,((())) ((())) ((())).
This is Tweet's feather loss if anyone has any ideas? It doesnt seem to bother him, he's a very happy bird and isn't scratching himself, he does the usual preening that birds do. When he lifts his head up, round his neck is bare as well. Budgie forums havent been able to help.
Everytime I try to video him, Rose, he shuts up, then when I walk away, he starts talking again!
Thats typical Carol,,,,bless him. Budgies dont have a moult do they?. I know my mates Parrot is at the moment but i did not know if Budgies were the same?. He is Beautiful.
Ohhhhh i see,,, yes that would be difficult then. They need to specialize in Birds yes.x
Well, I've spoken to the vet, she hasnt had a reply to her email yet, but has spoken to someone else who is knowlegeable about birds; there are a few things it could be, the main one being that he is pulling the feathers out himself, or a virus, follicle dystrophy etc OR - he could be sexually frustrated! Ooh-er See what else we find out next week.
well that's enough to make anyone swear lol!! it's not good you'll have to get him a girlfriend!!
