Is it sick for a parrot to have hairy tubular feathers?

What parrot or on** do not turn on the diffuse light when taking pictures.

It's moulting Think about the needle-shaped feathers when the young bird first grows feathers, and the feathers are normal feathers when the feathers are opened.

Raised budgies.

Feathered food: (**Copy to the address bar to add vitamins and minerals to the feed composition appropriately, in order to speed up the shedding of old feathers.) Moulting should be supplemented with vitamins, and at the same time increase protein feed, further strengthen nutrition, and accelerate the growth of new feathers.

In addition, during the moulting period, you can feed some carrots or vegetables containing carotene to increase the depth of the feathers.

During the moulting period, one capillary will grow in three days.

A parrot has a feather needle on its head, indicating that it is in the moulting stage. A parrot has a long white spike on the top of its head, which indicates that the parrot is about to reach adulthood. When its fur is fully grown, the coat color on the top of its head will turn yellow.

It should be noted that this kind of feather needle cannot be forcibly picked out or cut off, otherwise it will cause the parrot to be injured and bleed, and in severe cases, it will lead to the growth and development of the parrot.

The correct way to raise parrots

In order to ensure the health of parrots and their families, the cages, perches and other items that the parrot comes into contact with should be cleaned and disinfected frequently. When parrots play in areas where family members often move, padding them with newspapers, plastic bags, or pieces of cloth to prevent contamination by the parrot's legacy.

Food poisoning and digestive disorders are common diseases in parrots, mainly caused by eating unclean food by mistake. It is positive to avoid accidental ingestion of parrots in a variety of situations. The food processing method of parrots should be different from the cooking methods we are used to, no oil and various spices can be added, and the cooked food should be cooled to room temperature before feeding to birds.

Some parrots will have diarrhea symptoms after eating cooked food, and the reason can be found in several aspects, the food is not cooked thoroughly, especially fish, meat, eggs and other meaty raw materials. Some food is stored in the refrigerator and fed to parrots before being thawed. Some foods are not suitable for cooked food and are cooked and fed to parrots.

Fruits and vegetables are best fed raw, but they should be washed and disinfected before feeding.

There are various reasons why a parrot sheds on its head, and some of the common causes include:

1.Malnutrition: Parrot food lacks certain essential nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, minerals, etc., which can easily lead to hair loss on the head. Therefore, pet parrots should eat a rich and varied diet, including the right amount of seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.

2.Excessive stress: Parrots often experience a certain level of stress in their lives, such as family changes, stranger visits, and other pet interference. Long-term discomfort to the environment can also affect the physiological state of parrots, resulting in hair loss on the head and mountain parts.

3.Immune system disorders: When a parrot's immune system is compromised, its body attacks its own cells, which can lead to head loss and even serious diseases.

4.Mites: Mites are very small parasites that live at the base of their feathers and cause minor local inflammation. Due to the local itching caused by mite parasitism, peony parrots often bite some feathers and break off the feathers.

5.Breeding period: During the breeding season, some females often peck at the feathers of the chicks before laying eggs, or during the laying of eggs, to create old nests. If there are too many peony parrots in the same cage, it can also cause mutual pecking.

If your parrot is showing symptoms of head shedding, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian for a check-up and**.

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.

Hello , if it's not caused by a fight, it's moulting and having parasites. If it's a moult, it's fine, and it will grow naturally after a while. 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. lh$h--'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 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.

There is some knowledge of the symptoms of parasitic diseases in parrots in this post, there are ** and prevention, you can go and see.

There may be a cause for parasites.

Caged birds, whether they peck by themselves or each other, anus peck, toe peck, eggs or even feces, are collectively referred to as feather pecking or pecking. Featherpecking disease not only seriously affects the ornamental value of caged birds, but also causes anemia, dermatitis, fragile feathers, dull coat color, and sometimes parasite breeding. Therefore, feather pecking disease should be prevented as soon as possible.

The main causes of featherpecker:

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.

This is normal, and so is my family! As long as it is not a large-scale hair removal, it is not a disease! Just like human hair, it falls out every day!! ~
