Hi Dr. Rob, I just acquired a pair of gouldian finches today and I just got them home and all set up and every thing seems to be going well. Although I did notice that the male gouldian has small marble sized scab looking thing where his tail feathers connect with his body? he doesn't appear to be sick. What is this and how do I make him better? Thank you!
