For the past five months my budgie has lost a lot of feathers around his neck. He itches constan. The feathers haven't grown back. Also his head has lost feathers it looks bald then pins appear for a short time then fall out again. Lately his wing n tail feathers are falling out. I use s76 n moultine also tonic drops. Please advise thank you

The feathers around their beaks is stained, I gave them fruit for the first time yesterday so they might of just got stained or thrown up for some reason? Idk but I'm really worried I hurt them somehow

My pet budgie has recently lost is companion after 3and a half years due to cancer and I've noticed today when I got home from work that he is plucking his feathers out.

My budgie has been active too calm lately. He acts like he's cold very much now, whenever he tries to sing his voice sounds weird and his feathers (around the chest and baek) look like they're wet and sticky but they're very very dry and I'm really worried. For now I'm looking for info here but I'm definitely going to take him to a vet today.

2 days ago I discovered my budgie’s head especially around the cere completely covered in dark crusty stuff. I cleaned the cage and sprayed it with mite spray, then I picked her up and cleaned the dark stuff off of her (I’m noticing small bald patches) and dabbed a bit of the spray on her (I felt that was safer than spraying since it talks about inhalation. Her mate doesn’t look as good as usual either around the eyes— more like ahe’s Looked for the last several months. For the last several months she has looked a bit more “crusty” around her eye area, her cere has seemed darker than usual that whole time— usually she would have been going through normal cere color changes, In the morning she again had a bit of dark crusty stuff on her head— but a bit better. This morning though, her head is completely covered with it. I again dabbed some nite spray on her head. I haven’t seen any pictures that resemble it. It seems closest to mites, but her beak and legs are fine and I haven’t seen any pictures that resemble her darkened feathers. The small bald patches don’t seem crusty— just like small areas without a feather and when I mean small, I mean I had to clean her to see them. There were some aphid-looking bugs in the cage bottom when I was cleaning it that are creeping me out and making me wonder if they are mites/lice. And I understand there are different kinds? I cleaned really really well and haven’t seen any since— but what can I do? If this is common then I’d like to try common productsI don’t know if any vets out where I live are good with birds.

My budgie has been rubbing his head feathers, so much that they sometimes they bleed for the last month. Now he's sleeping most of the day. I've been bathing the top of his head in warm water. What else should I do?
