I have a very healthy 28-year-old Meyers parrot, I’ve had her since she was four months old! Went to bed one night she was acting perfectly normal and healthy, woke up the next morning and all of her colored feathers were at the bottom of the cage, woke up to a totally gray parrot. Have taken her to two vets, both were stumped first vet saying it was stress but nothing has changed in our home whatsoever. Second vet was also stumped but gave her an injection of invermectin. I asked for the vet to draw blood for blood tests and she said it’s very tricky to draw blood from a little bird because they need to be sedated and didn’t do it... Have any of you experienced anything like this at all? She has all of her down feathers remaining, is totally herself and eating well but when new colored feathers start to arrive within 24 hours they’re gone.

Also have you ever had your bird sedated to draw blood???? Please help, I am worried and frustrated and trying to find out what is happening to my little girl.
