While some feather changes are normal during molting, significantly dull or disheveled feathers can indicate underlying health issues. These might include nutritional deficiencies, parasitic infections (like mites), liver disease, or even stress. A proper diet, appropriate husbandry, and monitoring for other symptoms are key. If you notice accompanying symptoms like lethargy, changes in droppings, or increased preening, a vet visit is recommended. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
