Thanks for reaching out about Zulekha. A veterinary visit is recommended as a disease called Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease is a good possibility. This viral disease is potentially contagious to other birds and there is no treatment. A diagnosis needs to be made. Other concerns are liver, renal, polyoma virus, just to list a few. Good luck.
