Darkening Feathers

User Question
Is it normal for the feathers around the beak to darken? If not tell me what to do.

Lisa's Answer
No keet I've ever owned has had feathers change color like that - the only color change I know about is when the stripes on the forehead fade over time. I would take your keet to a vet for a checkup, to see if mites or something could be causing an issue.
