    If they are growing in with black patches as shown here, it is a malnutrition issue. Veggies high in vitamin A will help, and more fresh foods with pellets always available will go a long way.
    Yes I'm now adding a lot more fresh veggie and sprouts, see whether it improves her feather.

    Sassy Goffin's girl, she IS Sassy Amigo, male umbrella cockatoo Chip! The cockatiel! The sweet, sweet Jellybean!
    Getting them to eat what they need, is difficult..God knows, we try! Your bird is a beauty, I don't think I've ever seen one like her. Does she chew on her self constant or just sometimes? My Goffins Cockatoo, Sassy, chews her feathers off half the year..the other half, she lets them grow in beautifully.

    Hi she Seldom Chew on them, I try to keep her out as much as I can to prevent her from getting bored.
