Hello all. I am a new member and this is my first thread, l didn't know there were forums on this site for UK members untill l joined and was advised to post my query here.
I don't keep peacocks but one has arrived uninvited in my garden so know nothing about them. He is in the molt at the moment, but l am worried he may have mites, his tail feathers are begining to grow back but he has this white downy growth most way along his back which he keeps pecking at. Could this be a sign of mites or or some other parasite, if so how could l treat it as he's very timid.
I have nowhere for him to be housed in the winter will he be OK.
