Mr. Wu

[gwboolean]

Mr. Wu is a Button Quail rooster I have for a pet/watchdog. I have had button quail as pets before, but never a rooster as a pet. Without going into all the weird things about him, there is one thing in his behavior that concerns me. This little guy is Preening (scratching) almost constantly when he is about. I have never seen any quail or birder of any kind that does that as much as this one. Is it possible that this little guy has some kind of skin problem?

Have you checked him for parasites (lice or mites)? Posting a picture of him may help.
