Why are my Parakeet's head feathers stuck together?

If your parakeet has sticky, but dried head feathers he could have an Trichomonas infection. This type of an infection is caused by a protozoal organism and produces heavy mucus which the bird will spit up. When it is flung around from its mouth, it will stick to the feathers and when it dries it feels just like someone had put hair styling gel in the feathers. The treatment for this type infection is Ronex or Ronivet - S or any medication that contains Ronidazole.

No, he is not sick, although he might be a little bored, he is just changing his old feathers. Try to spend more time softly talking to him and ruffling his head feathers to calm him down. If he starts plucking out his feathers a lot, contact a vet without hesitation.
