Feather Pulling

Post by danniman »

I have a male ringneck parrot he is 7yrs old. He has been molting badly for the last few months but has new feathers coming through. I noticed last night when i was sitting with him that he was pulling out his new feathers coming though and he is making him self bleed a little bit. Why would he have suddenly started doing this? Our routine has not changed nor has his environment. And it only started yesterday because i have not seen any of his new feathers lying around and they stand out because they havent finished forming and they always have dots of blood on the end. Can someone please help me, im worried about my little man.

Ouch! What a mystery you have. Does your bird have free flight? Free roam? those might be
an issue.
