Any bird owners out there?

[LT Connell]

has the second one had a plucking issue in the past?

Yes, unfortunately. We're trying to keep her busy with favorite toys. Not sure why she does it. Been vet checked.

Then perhaps a hawk headed parrot would be cool

Hmm never heard of it.

plucking is an issue with a board bird, esp smart birds, they are wired to forage, all day long, when they have food taken care of and nothing to do, IE not kept stimulated they have nothing to do but preen, they will become so abscessed with it that they will start pulling there feathers out and in the extreme will start ripping not just there feathers out but pulling there skin off. it can get very bad.

plucking is hard to stop once its started. constant work with the bird, great diet. and make sure no health reasons for it. grays require a great amount of the owners time. Its the main reason I do not have one. I can do 3 hours a day, I can not do 6 to 8.

Give her some driftwood to chew and switch out toys every day or so.

I can honestly tell this part of the forum is extremely dead..

But, I wanted to ask my fellow bird owners, do your birds scream at night? I have a green cheek conure who makes the most bizarre noises when all the lights are out and hes covered. I just wanted to see if anyone else has this problem/issue or if I just have a broken bird lol

My balcony turned into the nesting grounds for a breeding colony of feral pigeons at one point. Sometimes at the dead of night they would suddenly all start softly cooing. My bed is by the window, so I can hear it like its right beside me. Its a mixture of creepy and calming.
