I have a 5 month old parrotlet that has dry scales/ feathers. Whenever he sits on my shoulder and preens him self all these white flakes fall off him like dandruff, I checked the flakes and they arent moving so I don't think its lice.
Could it be that he doesn't drink his water? cause I clean his feeders/waterers every morning and the water just has his feathers in it and I dont know if he actually drinks it. Plus he poops in his feeder's.
He eats well, right now I have him on a seed diet but I am going to change that. Yea so does anyone know what I can do to get his feathers/scales looking full and less dry?

He has a big cage and I clean it every 3-4 weeks, and replace/clean his water/feeders daily.
Please someone give me some input cause I want to make his life as healthy as possible and want him to live as long as possible. THANKS and please answer.
