: Peaches noramly has very clean feathers, when
:this condition is active ( which is about every
: two to three mths) she has very dark matted
:areas near here skin. The feathers are stuck
:together. So what I see is a thick black coating
:on here feathers near the base of pin feathers
:mostly in the chest and leg areas...

Cam, I'm wondering if there is some sort of fungal infection, or possibly an allergy?
I would strenuously encourge these people to take this bird to an avian vet, particularly while the above is visible.
