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.
