    That's the parrot combing its feathers, the root of the parrot's tail secretes a glandular fluid, which can protect the feathers, and the budgie rubs this liquid all over the body to protect its feathers, but if it is excessive itching of the head and body, then there may be ectoparasites, which need to be **.

    If you still don't understand something, you can add me, and I will give you a more comprehensive and specific answer.

    Make sure it's already bathed, you fill the water box with water and it will wash itself.

    Have you cleared the stool board? Make sure it's cage hygienic

    It may be that it is in the moulting season and this situation is normal.

    Your bird may be suffering from feather pecking, so it is important to prevent it as early 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.

    2.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.

Generally, the material we give to the tiger skin cushion is sawdust (the size of a fingernail), with a thickness of 2-3 cm, and you can also pad some broken wheat straw, or some millet husks. If your bird doesn't enter the nest, it is likely that there is a problem with the soft object of your pad, which makes them scared, so they dare not enter. It is recommended to take it out immediately and replace it with the above materials. >>>More
