I need advice on a canary that I rescued. Thought it was plucked (head and tail) but the follicles are coming off of the feather shafts when I bathe it. There are no visible sign of mites. I don't know what it might be or what I need to do.

Bird supply is your best bet. They know all needs well and have bred Canraries they can get you and your new pet on the right roadl plus they will have all the supplies that you will need today and in the future

Call Bird Supply. They are terrific resources but if you live close to them, Dr Kilgore at All Pets Vet Hospital in Nashua is a bird expert and wonderful too.
