Aww bless his little heart. Hopefully it's just because he's still nervous in a new home and once he settles in more the plucking will stop.My poor 'Maclet'... Don't know why he prefers feathers over chew toys.
I sincerely hope so, kept my fingers crossed
I think they always have a baby face!
I have been told, he's around four years. He has bluish green forehead, but whats the significance? His eyes are very dark brown.
I was just commenting that he seems to have developed the coloring of a not-a-baby-bird. in answer to @zoo mom
I don't know, yesterday also I saw torn feathers at cage floor. But he seems to get interested in his toys. I gave him a good shower yesterday. Let's see, I am praying constantly.
mine doesnt play with his toys a lot he chooses his times when to destroy them or not. he does a lot of cage crawling upside down and on the bars. or bottom trying to reach the tray. hes very active. sits on a perch mainly to groom and nap. hes otherwise always on the move. hes 5 now so should be somewhat similar in motion. big thing is to keep them busy they need entertainment. if you have a tv in the room leave it on preferably where he can see it if the house is quiet often. i currently have youtube playing for them with the birds. i even put kids shows ( tiny voices will make them very excited though ). remove the torn feathers off the bottom. very possible hes hormonal already hard to say. at 4 hes on the line. but some species pluck to create a nest. i always remove them to not allow them to build anything close. when he plucked for a week i constantly took the feathers out to not give a reminder theres a nest to be made. i sometimes confuse them by using different material during hormone season like shredded paper and paper towel mix to not allow them to see what they drop down below. they have their sneaky ways lol very intelligent.
Yeah they are very intelligent. I don't think it's hormone because he's very quiet. It's pure stress of new environment.
. But i am really really so happy that Pestaa has finally found his voice back.
might sound harsh but how i got both of my birds to eat pellets is i took everything and put a mix of the exact same stuff i use now about 5 diff pellets in a mix. they may throw it all you may see them yell and angry. they will begin to try them and find one they like. the one you see missing most begin to use more of and watch from there. or just offer that mix always. its very hard to just choose one pellet and say here you go. sometimes i notice they love zoopreem fruit ones, other days they chomp down lafeber pellets. so offer the variety i always say
