Its a genetic breeding thing that gets past down, it was probaly already bald there when you got the bird, why are you clipping?? The worm thing is a bunch of crap, I have only been into tiels for almost a year now and I dont know any breeders or friends that worm thier birds, do some research on it, your vet wants to get a little deeper into your wallet. need to know more....is this bird an only bird? Could be plucking from a cage mate? Some tiels are bald by nature. How long have you had it? is it new...lutinos are prone to baldness for instance... Age of bird?

Is the bald spot under his crest? IOW you can only see it when his crest is raised? If so, it's perfectly normal. Nah i have never wormed my bird the vet checks its droppings under some microscope, i prefer going to the vet when its wings need clipping cause he checks the bird as well and i dont know how to clip wings ive seen him do it and looks easy to do but id rather the vet do it. It only costs me $10 a visit and i go every 5months. Yeah hes going bald under his crest, you can see it when he raises it, but i noticed today that there are new feathers coming through and yes he is the only bird in his cage and hes like 6months old, the vet told me not to worry some tiels go bald and some dont.. > > <My tiels head is going bald not much just a little bit, has anyone > > experianced this with their teils.
