I have a pair of lovebirds and I noticed that one of the bird’s skins is somehow flaky. I looked into it closely to check if it has any bruises but there are none. It just looked like dandruff and it keeps on biting into it. Have you encountered this with your pets?

Hi,
Maybe your bird has an itch from a parasite or something. Could it have mites or lice? Maybe it is suffering emotionally and is acting out by biting itself. Has it undergone any environment change lately? Sounds like it is either frustrated or it has an infection or a parasite. I would definately check more in to what it could be, I'd hate to see it become ill.

I also have a pair of lovebirds and it is also experiencing the same thing! I notice that it is quieter than the rest, too. It also seems to avoid contact with the other birds in the cage.
