Hello there fellow bird owners, my Budgie (Voegelchen - birdie in German) who's about six years old, got suddenly a red spot on his head. At first I thought it might be a stain of blood and thought the suspect might be my other bird who's 4-5 years old. Sometimes she bites Voegelchen ergo I thought she bit his head wound. But I didn't hear or see that, I was the last 24h at home so I could have seen that fight or at least recognised it earlier. And here comes my second assumption - which btw I don't hope is true - he might have red mites. I've only one wooden thing in his cage but he loves to play with it. The other bird (the 4-5 years old one) seems to be fine. postimg.org/image/wy49ubjwz/postimg.org/image/tbkblu1yj/postimg.org/image/ce5x2m1s9/What's your guys' opinion? |

It's where a pin feather had come through the skin so there is a tiny bit of dried blood. Due to the light colour of the feathers it shows more. I had it with my Ernie and had heart failure thinking something was wrong.

I agree with mizloco. A blood feather - it may have been knocked slightly and this caused it to bleed. Nothing to be concerned about. |

On this occasion or just in general? As Stace said, this is how the world works in general, who am I to go against it |
