Post: Growth of dark feathers around head area????!

Posted by Jenny on 6/04/06

So my budgie that ive had since the last January 1st never
looked any different for all that time. About 1 month ago
its cere cahnged from that brownish rough form to smooth
and light blue. NOW, i notived just this morning that it
has black little dots on its forehead and at a closer look
i found that they were growing out of these whitish
stocklike things. Im guessing their just new feathers and
the things their growing from can fall off cuz...some did
when we were holding it.
My guestions are...
Are they really just feathers?
Will the white things all fall off?
Is this regrowth a good thing?
And why are the feathers on the head blackish?
Its head is yellow and i thought as it gets older the
white wavy lines go away?
...so confues and found no to little info on other sites.
Please help, any input is good. thanks
