: Hi,
: I have a Green cheeked conure. He has black tipped feathers and pink instead of gray feet(they used to be
: all gray)
: The little guy was rooming with a Quaker some time back but she plucked the feathers out from the back
: of his neck..could these problems be from stress?
: This poor baby has been through some hard times and near death experiances. He takes on my larger
: parrots because of jealously.. and now his beak is permanently disfigured and messed up for life.
: He can't eat bird seed anymore really.
: (but he had the black feathers and foot problems before all that)
: I was wondering what is causing these two problems
: Could it be poor diet? stress?
: Is there anything I can do to get his beautiful "Emerald" green feathers back?
: and is the foot problem permanent?
: any help would be appreciated,
: Thanks for your time.

These are questions you need to ask your avian vet. No diagnosis can be or should be made sight unseen. Sounds like you need to make the appointment A.S.A.P.
