    <> possible reasons why parrots peck at their feathers are as follows:

    1. The parrot may be grooming its feathers;

    2. The parrot may be playing on its own;

    3. It may be due to the fact that the living space of the parrot is too small, and then you can change to a larger cage to improve the problem of the parrot pecking its own feathers;

    4. It may be due to calcium deficiency, at this time, letting the parrot bask in the sun or supplementing some cuttlefish bones can also improve the problem of parrots pecking feathers;

    5. The parrot may feel lonely, so it is enough to buy another parrot to be its companion at this time;

    6. Parrots may have lice on them.

    At this time, go to the market and buy a special insecticide spray.

    Just help the parrot kill insects.

    Hello, it may be a parasite or feather pecking.

    In severe cases, it can bite off the feathers and even bleed. If there are parasites, it needs to be prompted**. For birds suffering from parasitic diseases, a little kerosene can be put in the water for the bird to bathe.

    At the same time, sprinkle 20 pieces of camphor powder in the bird feathers, and gently rub the feathers to make the powder enter the feathers to kill parasites. In addition, malathion has low toxicity and has a good killing effect on various mites, ticks, lice and other ectoparasites. Dosage:

    Spray, or powder powder is powdered at a concentration of 4%. Pyrethrum This product has low toxicity, is safe and reliable, and has no residual toxicity, but the time of action is short, and it is often used to eliminate ectoparasites in birds. Dosage:

    Spray with 2%-3% solution.

    In addition, frequent disinfection is required, potassium permanganate can be used. Potassium permanganate is generally dissolved in water until the water becomes lilac (not black purple), then soak the cage (or disassemble into various parts) for about half an hour, and then wash it with water, of course, before brushing it clean. It is inherently non-toxic.

    If you have feather pecking, you can use a scarf to restrict the movement of your head. It is to make something like a funnel, and attach a small bayonet to the neck with the opening facing upwards, so that its head cannot turn back and bite the feathers elsewhere. Hope!!!

    2. Infected with viruses, molds, parasites and other diseases.

    3. Lack of certain nutrients and other three reasons.

    Treatment methods: 1. First of all, it is necessary to find out the cause of self-harm by plucking, such as deworming when infected with piriformis;

    2. Give antibiotics, bathe the birds frequently, keep the environment ventilated, increase toys, and improve the quality of life.

    3. In order to prevent birds from continuing to peck feathers or self-harm, most of them need to wear a collar (as shown below).

    4. The effect of steroid drugs for mammalian allergy symptoms in birds is still to be studied, but if the plucking behavior is a mental illness, you can try to give some drugs to reduce anxiety and stress, such as clomipramine.

    5. Or get a clean cuttlefish bone and put it in the cage to let it peck (it can also be hung in the bird cage to avoid dirty). Bird cages should be kept in a ventilated place, cleaned, and water and food should be changed frequently. Feed a little fresh vegetables and fruits, and take them out in time if you haven't finished eating.

    6. Different species of parrots should not be in the same cage.

    7. Reduce the feeding density, add sulfur-containing protein or add a trace amount of natural gypsum or mix a small amount of feather powder into the feed.

    8. Improve sanitary conditions and increase the number of standing bars; Appropriate feed mix to ensure comprehensiveness and diversity; Promptly isolate the bird in which the symptom occurs; Add drugs such as feather pecking powder.
