Re: regurgitating & plucked feathers

Have a DNA sample of your bird's blood and have him checked for PBFD. It's a virus that is airborne and affects the immunity system of your bird. It commonly known as Beak & Feather Disease. It's contagious and the only way to check is through a blood sample. There is no cure but start giving him some vitamins A drops on his food and in his water until you can have him tested. I'm not trying to scare you but this can be true.
