A while ago she was laying dozen eggs but she has stopped. I'm now seeing her scratching (with her beak) the back feathers mostly.
I think it's called "feather plucking" but she's not bald or have bare skin. I have seen some feathers on the floor and on the cage. And, one or two feathers still on her body sticking a little bit up instead of flat probably from doing this.
Today, I took her outside to enjoy the weather and get some Vitamin D from the sun, as I heard this may be helpful. She didn't do this behavior while outside and I bathe her a little bit and cleaned the bottom of the cage with the hose. She has a cuttlebone that she is still going at it. I'm not sure if the cuttlebone still works but I'm guessing yes (It has two colors).
Shall I get her toys? I was thinking of a ladder or anything good for a cockatiel.
