Hi for the last couple of days Billy has been cleaning himself a lot I can’t see anything on him but to be honest I don’t know what to look for? He is fine in himself talking away eating & quite active .I clean his cage with F10 but am worried about him cleaning himself so much. Should I be worried about this behaviour please

Welcome! If you can post a video of Billy's activity, that will help a lot! Pics are nice too If you're using your phone to access the Forum you'll need to change to Desktop mode in order to attach pics, etc. Desktop option is at the bottom of the screen.

Is he starting to moult? This usually makes them very itchy and therefore they preen more……But like Lozhinge has said, a video would help….

Increased preening activity can be due to normal moulting and nothing to worry about. Is Billy scratching his head against fixtures in his cage, such as perches, toys, the bars etc? If so, is it occasionally or more intensively? A few times a day or several times an hour? If he's doing a lot of scratching that could possibly indicate a problem.
Sorry, was interrupted in posting by Mr Hibs and Eeyore. Mr Hibs in particular knows the difference between me looking at my phone and me typing on it and he usually wants to know what I'm saying. Eeyore just doesn't want to be left out.
