Something strange white dots on my bird's wing and tail with some rough feathers ....is this a disease or a natural act? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 24 days old

Dust or flecks could indicate something such as excess dander from dry skin (all birds have some dander), or even the presence of mites or other external parasites. Letting Mithu take a bath or misting him with water to encourage preening, and using a mite spray may help to resolve this issue, as well as ensuring he's on a balanced diet to keep his skin and feathers healthy. If the flecks remain even after home care, or you notice any other issues in addition, having a vet take a look in person is always best.
