Hi guys!
Bit of a difficult one here but I need your advice and opinions.
So my african grey was diagnosed with beak and feather disease at around 8 months old.
I was told she wouldn't live longer than a year as greys are very sensitive to the disease and they were surprised she was still Alive at 8 months.
Obviously I was devastated and began to do everything possible to prolong her life. 2 years later she's still alive and thriving. Experts don't understand this and call her a miracle.
She is the tiniest bit underweight that has been her only symptom, apart from that shez a cheeky chatty happy grey who I love dearly.
So recently she has lost alot of white feathers and a few big wing feathers and today 2 red tails feathers. Shes been nasty and snappy for around 4 weeks with me which is strange as she adores me usually. She's 2 and a half years old. My question is.. do you guys think she is molting or do u think this is the disease beginning to show? Apart from bring moody and she also twitches alot and preens at night in her cage recently shes happy eating and drinking normally chatty and silly.
Would really appreciate your guys advice as all the vets just don't understand how she's still alive!
Thanks
