Hello. I’ve noticed on both wings, my budgie has sores near the tips, which have obviously been bleeding but since I can’t see any blood on her, toys etc, assuming it has stopped. She’s 13 / 14 weeks and currently moulting. Is this normal and is there anything I should be worried about / looking for? She seems well in herself - still eating, chirping. She can’t fly, as I think she might have FM

Do you have any photos of the bleeding areas?

I am able to see the area on her wings that you are concerned about. No, its not normal. Since you think she has FM, I think its worth a trip to the vet to get her checked over. Sorry I can't offer any specific advice.

Vet doesn’t believe Yumi has FM, though I appreciate only a test can 100 % confirm this. They think Yumi has done this to herself through boredom and suggested we get her a friend. They gave us antibiotics for the wounds and to kill any mites etc.
