I have been trying to hand tame my mother's parakeet for the past 6 months. Very little progress has been made. I recently moved about an hour away and took her with me. The move stressed her out. She hasn't been eating very much. Her cere has turned a dark red. I noticed a feather was stuck in her nostril. I had to grab her to take it out. This really freaked her out b/c she is not hand tamed. Could the feather have caused the discoloration in the cere? Could it have been stress or something else? Any thoughts or suggestions? Also, her droppings are darker and she is not as active. I am really worried.
