Help with my cockatiel she is a lutino estimated age is 12-18 months old and she started the habit if absolutely recking her tail when i got her ive had her for a bout a year now and it keeps getting worse
Now all she has is one tail feather on her tail and we dont have any avian vets in my country ive done a ton of research and still cant find a solution she is also not acctive at all all she does is stay in her place we took her to a “avian vet” once the vet was horrid he couldnt even open her wings properly her poops look unhealthy and she has a problem with her right eye she hadnt waten anything wierd and she definitely is entertained i think its a habit of over-preening she does bathe daily and has lots of indictment i dont know what the problem is!!
can anyone here help

What country do you live in? You could also see an online vet.

I can show you her eye but the ver didnt give us anything he said “she is blind we cant do anything about it” when we were sure she wasnt he said “come back when the symptoms are worse” so big red flag again we dont have an avain her eye is usually closed but its open now for some reason here is a pic of her tail the last feather is broken but didnt fall off
