This video was hard to make, but the experience we are currently going through is even harder. Feather plucking in parrots is extremely common, and is almost seen as NORMAL?! Plucking and feather destruction is something that so many pet parrots do that we have to come think, as a community or bird owners, that it is something that some parrots just end up doing and it can't be prevented, or stopped. Feather plucking is notoriously difficult to combat, as the cause of parrots plucking is difficult to find and obscure. Parrots are amazing at hiding illness and pain, and so finding the reason behind worrying symptoms can be a long and difficult process. One thing we should never do, is ignore feather plucking behaviours. All parrots who begin plucking should see a vet immediately to rule out illness and disease, and environmental causes of feather destruction should also be considered.
Whatever the reason for your parrot to self harm, don't suffer alone, and don't be ashamed. Feather plucking, feather barbering and self mutilation is not something that you should hide from, or avoid speaking about. There is always a reason for feather plucking! Birds in the wild never pluck, so the fact that only captive birds feather pluck should tell us something about their care or environment or health.
Whether you macaw is plucking, your African grey is plucking, or even cockatiel is plucking, reach out and help.
