Good luck, we used to have macaws and a umbrella parrot. The scarlet we had started plucking feathers, we had the vet do all sorts of tests, everything came back normal. This bird was crazy in love with my husband. The vet wanted us to take the bird to a phycologist (spelling) because he felt that she was acting out because she wanted to be with hubby all the time. We did everything we could, playpens, a zillion toys wood chews, (and our macaw ate seed, pellets, fruits, veggies twice daily), the vet said sometimes they start plucking for whatever reason, and with some it becomes a habit and they cant stop. When she was half naked we decided we needed to find her a home that no one worked, or spent time with any other animals. Last I heard, she still plucks but shes not naked. I hope you find the cause and it stops. Good luck. |
