Our 8 month old IRN, Remy, seems to be doing really well with us so far (we've had him for about 3 weeks now). He likes us and steps up and hangs with us on the couch.. preens us, plays all the time and eats/drinks well and chirps and squeaks and etc etc. However, over the past week or two I noticed he itches a lot. I kept an eye but never thought much of it because he usually itches his head a lot while he is preening himself... or itches his leg with the tip of his beak all while preening. But yesterday, I noticed one longer green feather in the cage, with about 10 or so little small white feathers on the floor of the cage (most I've seen yet, usually there are 3-5). His chest feathers to me looked a little unkempt and I couldnt tell if there was a whiter feather spot on his chest from plucking, or if his feathers were just in disarray. His "shoulder" feathers at the top of his wings looked a little whiter too.
Maybe I'm just paranoid... but I want to make sure he isnt going to start a bad habit because of something we are doing wrong!! Do you think his feathers look okay? Hopefully I'm just a worrier

Also, our first avian certified vet appt is tomorrow (for a physical and to get his nails cut), but you all help so much, I wanted to ask you all first. Thanks!
