My Night plucks his own feathers.
I've only come to this conclusion after a failed nesting, his mate going on the attack, and his reactions to other baby birds. Usually outside birds like sparrows, doves, etc.
What can I do for him? He's a gorgeous bird, doesn't bite, and is incredibly social.
I do have a couple of special needs birds, one with an oil gland problem and a corticosterone issue. She is almost two months and still gapes for food, though she is not a lovebird. I've placed them close together and he hasn't been plucking. Night seems to be content 'babysitting' her?
Has anyone else seen this behavior in males?
