Some advice for more beautiful feathers for the Blue-fronted Amazon

[h4l1.png]

Maybe I'm too panicky but I would like my blue-headed amazon's feathers to be greener and maybe a little neater. He is a year old maybe a little more in a few months. He eats pellets and of course vegetables every day (Carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Beetroot, Peas, Corn, Beans) I also give him egg food and sometimes he gets a seed mixture. He eats all of that happily and I don't have any problems with the food but I would like to somehow improve his feathers. Do you have any advice?

Babies are hard on their feathers so they rarely look perfect! Does he crawl into or rub up against things? Roll around on his back? Get pet a lot? All of those will make feathers look "bad". Since it is at the very tip of the feathers, I wouldn't assume this is anything diet related, and once feathers are grown, they only get "fixed" by a new feather coming in to replace it.

Your diet sounds like it is spot on; now you just need to be patient for new feathers to grow in with that good nutrition powering them.

An active bird is a healthy bird. An active bird is not going to have perfect feathers. But frankly they don't look bad to me, I wouldn't expect perfection on an amazon. They are acrobats and gymnasts, not super models.

He looks really good and healthy to me.
Nothing to worry about there.
