My cockatiel gets heaps of dandruff, too. I spend heaps of time blowing the white flakes off his feathers!

My cockatiel Spike, gets dandruff and its because there is new feathers coming through. Because he is a male he is changing colour so you dont need to worry! xx

Bird Dandruff? by: Jenny
I've been told that birds dont get dandruff... you may be experiencing the waxy coating of the pinfeather; my bird leaves the white flakes all over my shoulder, its just from preening the newly growing feathers. I'm thinking thats probably it, unless you already know what the waxy flakes look like and what your seeing is different.

Suggested pellets for your bird by: Tracie
Hello Anonymous,
Since you left your question as a comment, I can not be sure you will get the answer, but the pellets I recommend are the ones I recommended to this person whom you responded to.
Thanks for the tips I was a bit worried about my bird. She is two as well. She is a white bellied caquie. I love her so much! We are trying to find her healthier pellets because a bird trainer told us that mixes with lots of sunflower seeds are not good for the bird. They'd be like french fries to us. Do you recommend any particular brand or type. Please write back. Thanks!

Bird dandruff by: Tracie
Your bird is probably molting, so the dandruff will not last forever. A humidifier is good and the baths too. :-)
Artificially dyed pellets are not healthy for birds. All the artificial dyes and vitamins are hard on their kidneys and other organs. I would suggest you look into healthier pellets.
