Feather plucking

Post by Abhi151989 »

Hi,

My INR parrot is not well i think. It is losing feathers day by day from head and chest. What do you think is the problem? Please suggest what should be done in this case. The skin is very visible and the feather are not growing back

Is the bird old enough to molt, is it caged with another bird? If it is in molt you might try spritzing with water and a drop or two of olive oil to relieve itching. If its being plucked by another bird, separate them. What diet do you feed?
Just another bird brain
