I have a lovebird that plucks chronically. We’ve checked off the list from everything from the avian vet, diet, enrichment, vitamin d ect...
I noticed that while in her flight cage outdoors in sunny days she hides her face in the ridges of her hammock I made for her (shes only gets it under supervision)-shes not in her hammock, just perching under it and placing her head in the folds with her eyes closed. I thought it was cute at first and assumed she was just taking a nap. But it began to become more regular.
I had a hunch that direct light was bothering her. I covered half of her long/wide indoor cage with a cotton table cloth and she seems to enjoy being able to get out of the light when she choses.
-does anyone have any experience/knowledge about parrots getting migraines or light sensitivity?
-Im also not concluding the reason is “ migraines” of some sort, it could possibly be a need for Seclusion /a place to hide when stressed.
