Post: Society Finches loss of neck feathers

Posted by Chuck on 6/06/09

I have 7 society finches. 4 of them I removed from the
community and put in a separate cage in same room. These 4
have lost feathers around their neck and the skin in their
neck does not look normal. It seems to be discolored like
the sacks on new borns after being fed by parents. I have
a large flight cage. The other 3 societies, and pair each
of Gouldians, African Orange Cheeks and Owls. They all
seem ok. This problem on the 4 has been going on for
several months. Otherwise, these 4 are very active and eat
well. My birds eat seed and fresh fruit & vegetables
dailey. Also, there is no feather plucking going on. HELP!
