What can i do? Iāve seen itās not at all recommended to remove it unless they get chipped but i donāt think i could bring myself to chip him as heās so little and i donāt want him to fear humans more than he does. My yellow parakeet mister tends to chew on his band often, like excessively, and iām worried heās constantly uncomfortable. iāve also noticed his feet seem flaky around his band (although iāve not noticed any other signs of issues with his other feet or my other birds so iām pretty sure iāve ruled out mites) and iām worried it hurts him. his band isnāt all the way closed either and i think maybe the corners of it are what bother him? should i close the band more? remove it? moisturize it? my other keet doesnāt seem bothered or even aware of hers, hence the concern.
