over preening

Hello everyone :) My Fischer lovebird, Peach, has been overly preening his feet lately. This May will mark a year since I’ve had him. I noticed his feet are really dry and when preening, white specs fall on his feathers. Almost like dry “dandruff” like specs. New feathers are coming in (he has...

Hi we just moved houses and she had started to pluck her feathers about 8 feathers in a 5 minute period when I was not distracting her. I have got her to slow down and put some of the energy into toys but when preening still plucks 1 every 20 minutes or so. She likes to pluck chest under wings...

So i posted about this grey (8 Year old) in my older thread. She? I think? Was a “rescue”. A family member gave her to me because they felt like they don’t have time for her anymore. They said she was very mean but she is a sweetheart so i thought maybe they just forced her to step up ect. Came...

Im convinced my African Grey is over preening. His feather condition is definitely worse than when I got him two months ago. He absolutely hates anything to do with bathing. He freaks out in the shower, he freaks when he gets misted with anything, he occasionally tries to bathe in his water bowl...

Hello, everyone. I'm having a problem with my Quaker Parrot and only just now realized that he overpreens his feathers. His belly and back have been reduced to down, he very frequently preens and nibbles his feathers, and I notice him ending up accidentally plucking out feathers and promptly...

Hello! We have a 5 month CAG named Gotham . We've only had him for a month and a half. We feel he is adjusting extremely well and is pretty fearless. One of the biggest things I'm worried about is plucking. Whenever he's preening I constantly question if it's too much. Only found one of his...
