What is the cause of the parcel bird?

🦜 the problem of the Forpus parrot pulling its own feathers is a sign to hurry to find out why this bird is normally beautiful and takes good care of its own feathers. His self-harm often comes from two main factors: health and mental.

✅ here are the Czech procedures and preliminary solutions:

1. Physical Check

Before concluding that it is due to stress, think of disease first. It can be caused by:

• Parasites and fungi: Bird mites or fungi on the skin make itchy until birds have to pluck their own feathers to relieve symptoms.

• Toxins or irritants: exposure to cigarette smoke, perfumes, or air-conditioned sprays in the home, can irritate the skin.

• Malnutrition: If a bird eats only seeds (Seed diet), it may lack vitamin A and calcium, causing dry skin and unhealthy feathers.

🆘: If you see red skin, flakes, or seepage birds, you should take them to the Exotic Clinic to scrape the skin.

2. Psychological Check

Phopas are intelligent birds and require very high interaction:

• Loneliness and Boredom: If left in a narrow cage for too long without toys or people to play with, he will find something to do, which often ends up pulling fur.

• Change stress: moving cages, noisy noise, or even having a new pet in the house.

• Insufficient rest: The bird should sleep in a dark, completely quiet place for at least 10-12 hours a day. If he sleeps less, it is easily irritated.

3. Solutions and practices

• Foraging: Find a toy that allows him to gnaw or hide food in a toy so that he spends more time "finding" than "pulling fur."

• Adjust Diet: Supplement greens (e.g. kale, Cantonese) and unsweetened fruits to obtain vitamins that nourish hair and skin.

• Spraying Water Aerosols: Try Foxie to spray a thin aerosol (water) for him to take a bath 2-3 times a week. The humidity will reduce itching and stimulate normal hair clearing instead of pulling.

• Collar (Pull-On Collar): In case of pulling until ulcer, the doctor may put on a collar to pause the behavior during skin treatment (this is the last way because if the bird is stressed, the more stressful it is to wear the bird, the more stressful it is to walk, may prevent the bird from eating)

📌 Caution: Do not scold or punish when a bird pulls its feathers. Because the bird does not understand and will be even more stressed, focus on distraction with toys or taking out flying outside the cage instead.

🆘 If the behavior has been modified for 1-2 weeks, it is not improved. Consult the bird doctor directly to test the blood or check the hormone level. It is encouraging the little one to recover quickly.
