My bird is loosing his feathers around his neckHe also seems to be shaking a lot. He is in an outdoor coop with his parents and a sibling. They are all fine (no feathers missing). He is able to fly and is normal size. They eat pigeon food and have a constant water supply. I am not sure if he has a skin disease or if he has parasites. What do I look for and how do I treat it?
I will take photos tomorrow and will post them.

If he's about eight weeks old he could be going through his baby molt. But there are some parasites that cause feather loss in one spot. A good photo and detailed description would help diagnose the problem.

Sorry, I cannot get a good photo. He is about 8 weeks old and is losing the feathers around his neck. He is probably just molting. None of the other pigeons have any feathers missing. I will keep any eye on it and if it spreads, I will seek further help.
Thanks,

Is this the brother to the young pigeon that can't fly?
