Why do budgies always shed their feathers?

Causes of parrot hair loss and prevention methods:

1. Moulting. Shedding during moulting is common and easy, sometimes even a lot of it can be touched without trying to catch it. The shedding during this period is generally general, but it is possible to start from scratch first, so it can be determined by observing the bird for several days depending on the age and season of the bird.

2. Lack of trace elements.

When bird food is single, it often leads to the lack of trace elements in birds, especially some oily ingredients, which have the effect of enriching the color of the feathers. If there is no abundant food for a long time**, the feathers of the parrot will be dull at best, and at worst they will fall off in pieces. The solution can be to add some foods rich in trace elements, such as hemp seeds, Suzi, carrots, Shanghai green and other oil and green ingredients.

3. There are parasites.

There are many species of parasites in birds, and parrots often suffer from parasitic diseases such as feather lice and mites. Once infected, parrots will wilt and the gnawing of the parrot's feathers by feather lice is completely destructive. In order to alleviate the physical discomfort, the parrot will continue to peck at the feathers until it is bald.

It is worth noting that the parasite is contagious, and the sick bird should be isolated and insecticidal**, and it is better to return to the cage after at least two months of healing.

4. Fungal infection.

The manifestation of fungal infections in birds is generally scabies, which is one of the diseases that parrots often infect. Fungal infection of parrots complicated by **ringworm, the affected area of hair loss and skin does not heal for a long time, some will proliferate, thicken and even scab, the sick bird is in poor spirit, and there is no other discomfort. The fungus is also contagious, and sick birds need to be isolated for observation and **, and the scabies plaster used by ordinary people can be applied externally**.

5. Bad mood.

Birds will peck their feathers when they are in a bad mood, and in severe cases, they will cause bald coats. There are many reasons for a bad mood, the main one being loneliness. Caged birds have a fixed living environment and a single lifestyle, and if they have psychological discomfort, they can't change places and live like birds in nature, so their loneliness is not easy to adjust.

Once you find that the parrot is pecking at its feathers because it is unhappy, you can put some simple bird toys in the cage and spend more time with them, and it will be better slowly.

6. Hug the nest. The nest-hugging bird is very hard, so it is normal to shed its feathers, as long as the nutrition can keep up, it will slowly brighten up after stopping the nest.

To sum up, parrots should observe and analyze the hair loss on the top of their heads, and find out how to raise their birds, how to determine the cause of the hair loss, and choose the right solution.

1. Lack of amino acids, salt, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, etc. in daily feed; Second, the cage density is too large, and the ventilation conditions are poor, so there are many cage birds in groups and few in single cages; 3. The light is too strong, the temperature is too high, and the activity is insufficient; 4. Infection of mites and other ectoparasites; 5. Insufficient nesting materials during breeding, so that the parent birds peck at themselves or chicks to fill in the feathers.

Prevention and treatment of feather pecking:

First of all, attention should be paid to the aviary cage as wide and clean as possible, as soon as possible to isolate the chicks and parent birds separately, reduce the density; Targeted adjustment of feed, increase egg yolk and other sulfur-containing proteins, trace elements and vitamins; Appropriate amount of natural gypsum (containing calcium sulfide), shell powder, bone meal, green fodder, feather meal, etc. (feather powder is not easy to digest and absorb, must be added to water before feeding, mixed in the feed and fed); Regular disinfection and spraying to repel ectoparasites.

For flocks of birds suffering from feather pecking, an electric soldering iron can be used to cut off the beak of the bird, but be careful not to go too far, the pecking habit can be stopped quickly. The food tank should be filled at any time afterwards, otherwise it will cause the bird to refuse to eat due to the pain in the beak during pecking.

When a bird suffers from feather pecking, it can cut a piece of cardboard and put it around its neck to force it to correct its pecking habit.

What to do if the budgie has almost lost its belly and underwing hair.

Is it sick, how**.

Most of the causes of budgie shedding are due to diseases. For example, mite parasitism is the most common cause of budgie shedding. The mites are extremely small, about millimeters, round or oval, parasitic at the base of the feathers and cause minor local inflammation.

When mites are parasitized, it can cause severe itching on the parrot's body, and in order to relieve discomfort, budgies will often bite some of the feathers, causing the feathers to fall off.

Humans. Parrots will often bite some of their feathers, causing them to fall off. In budgies that have been shedding, the feathers on the head, back, abdomen or other parts of the body will gradually be lost, and some may even fall off completely.

For this reason, it is very important for parents to help it in time. Breeders can use 1 part of pine tar, 1 part of sulfur, 2 parts of soft soap, 2 parts of 50% alcohol, mix and mix, and then wipe the budgie 3 times a day for 2 weeks, and the effect is very obvious.

In addition, the bird cages where budgies live also need to be cleaned and disinfected in a timely manner. You can use professional disinfection and insecticidal water to spray bird cages to completely kill those parasitic bacteria and fungi, and prevent budgies from being infected with germs and inducing hair loss.

At the same time, keepers should also strengthen the bird's diet management. At this time, you can choose eggs and millet as the staple food, and then add some nutrients such as hair powder to feed, which also promotes the hair growth of budgies.

The causes of parrot hair loss include parrot moulting, insufficient nutrition, infection with ectoparasites, parrot ** disease, and bad mood.

1. Parrot moulting

The parrot is moulting. Parrots usually change their feathers every 4-6 months, usually starting with the feathers on the head, and depending on the age and season of the parrot, the time and order of feathering may be different, and the degree of feathering may be different.

2. Nutritional deficiencies

When parrots lack certain nutrients in their bodies, they will also lose a lot of hair. If the owner usually feeds the parrot with a single food for a long time, it is easy to cause the parrot's feather color to lack nutrition, gradually become rough and dull, and the hair follicles become fragile, and a large amount of hair loss will occur in serious cases.

3. Infection with ectoparasites

When a parrot is infected with parasites such as feather lice and scabies mites, it will have severe itching caused by the bites of the parasites, and it will be tempted to peck at its own feathers. It is advisable to isolate parasite-infected parrots in time to prevent the remaining parasites from spreading to other parrots.

4. Parrot disease

There is a lot of dander in the part of the parrot shedding, and there are redness, swelling, scabs and other love sail ruined shirts around the periphery, which means that it is likely to have a disease, which is usually related to the damp and dirty environment of the bird cage, it is recommended to use some antibacterial ointment to apply it to the parrot's affected area, and pay attention to keeping the environment hygienic and dry to reduce bacterial breeding and infection.

5. Bad mood.

The mood of the parrot will also affect the growth of the feathers, the parrot is kept in the cage for a long time, sometimes it will feel bored and lonely, and if it is in a bad mood, it will peck its own feathers.

1: Generally speaking, budgie hair removal is a very normal phenomenon in birds, especially at the beginning of a season, in order to better adapt to the climate and temperature of a season, they will often change the quantity and quality of their hair by moulting, for example, the weather is gradually starting to get hot, and the new hair of budgies will become shorter and sparser, so they can adapt to the high temperature environment more easily.

This situation does not require special treatment.

2: Budgies will also experience a large moulting when they are just adults, especially the feathers on the top of the head are the most obvious, we can easily see the feathers on the top of their heads when the budgies moult seasonally, in short, if we see a large number of budgies have a large number of hair loss, we can see that the top of the budgie has a more obvious feather, and the budgie feathers are not mutilated or rotten, then this shows that the budgie feathers are not caused by mites.

3: By observing the frequency and strength of budgies pecking feathers, we can also see that they shed their hair because of moulting or disease, mites, generally during the budgie moulting, they will also help change their feathers by pecking with their beaks, of course, the frequency of their pecking feathers during this period is not high and the strength is very small, because the feathers of the budgies during the moulting period are very loose, and if the budgies lose their hair due to disease or mites, the budgies may frequently bite their feathers due to pain and itchingOf course, over time, there are often obvious scars, ulcers, feathers and other phenomena. In this case, it is necessary to go to the patient hospital to find out the right symptoms **.
