I caught my 4 week old SLW shaking her head (side to side). This is not like a tremor or a neurological thing just occasional shaking of her head. The girls are all in that awkward part fuzz part feather stage...could she have some fuzz of something annoying her? I have checked for mites and lice...nothing. Nothing on her head, body, wings, vent area, legs or face.
She is not scratching, she is eating great, drinking fine, not acting out of the ordinary at all. The only other odd thing she does is sometimes when you are holding her she will shiver just a bit when you speak to her...just for a second and not constantly or ongoing.
Should I be concerned? This is my little parrot wannabe and I would hate it if something was wrong. If it is a problem, what should I look for, do or give her?
As you can see she has that 'yoda' looking fuzz on her head...
