the parrot is pricking his feathers

Post by tejen »

Hello,
i got a parrot, unsure wether its an alex or an IRN but since past few days he's been pricking his feathers a lot.
what could be the reason?
My other frnz having dogs as pet, say it could be due to the food and water. they say not to give biscuits any anything with sugar to animals it causes skin problems and the loose their fur. Also not to give them a regular bath?

Can anyone suggest me for my parrot what could be the issue. As even after avoiding sugar and bath, the situation is still the same.

thanks,
tejen

Are you sure the bird is doing this? Could this not be a health condition?
Suggest you take the bird to a vet. A pic may help us diagnose the problem...
