Hello All
I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Scooby has a slightly puffy/crusty cere she has had it for quite some time but just this morning I noticed lots of black specks above the cere and I am wondering what this all could be. Is it possibly new feather growth coming through or something I should worry about?
She has been looking a little bit scrawnier recently and has also been moulting.
I will try to attach a photo to my post but hope for some help. Thank you all soooo much.

Once the keratin comes off the feather those black spots will disappear.
