We came home today to find our BlackCap with a big white spot on his head. It's not raised at all and there was absolutely nothing there last night. He seems out and about like normal too, albeit a bit more tame than usual. We haven’t added anything new or made any changes in months. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks!

IMO it is simply a rub spot (abrassion) - just watch him, feed good quality food and as long as water quality is good it will heal up

Thanks Mark for the quick reply. I think you're right, I just feed them and he like always took his fair share. Plus it doesn't look nearly as bad in the direct light.

yup....it kinda looks like the little guy had a slight mis-calculation when he "bolted" into his hiding spot and cracked his wee noggin good:mrgreen:
