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.

Is there a difference between budgies and parakeets?

Baby parakeets are tiny and have very little feathers and are not ready to be adopted into a family unless the family has a lot of bird experience. The parakeet you probably want to adopt is a fledgling, which is kind of like a teenager. Fledgling parakeets have larger heads. Adult parakeets have thicker feathers. Adult parakeets have longer tails. Adult parakeets are larger. Fledgling parakeets have stripes on their whole head extending down to their eyes. The less stripes on its head the older it is. Fledgling parakeets have black eyes and as they usually get older they get a white circle around their eyes.
