Why do parrots pluck their hair and hurt themselves?

How to stop parrots from plucking their own hair?

Parrot plucking may be caused by parasite infection, malnutrition, boredom and stress, but in most cases, the reason why parrots hurt themselves is largely caused by human neglect. Parrots are highly sensitive animals, so we must give them enough love and patience in the process of raising parrots. In order to thoroughly treat the malignant depilation of parrots, not only the veterinarian needs to treat them, but also the owner needs to give more care and patience.

Of course, parrot plucking is not only caused by mental influence, but also by other parasitic infections such as bacteria, mold or mites. After the infected parrot begins to bite its hair, the wound will be accompanied by severe itching. Affected by this disease, infected parrots will gradually develop the habit of plucking their hair; When the parrot has inflammatory symptoms such as redness, pus, edema and ulceration, it will also make the parrot feel severe itching and then pluck its hair; In addition, if a parrot with depilation symptoms has a white object similar to the scalp, these white objects may be dead mites. In view of this situation, it is necessary to use external coatings to treat mites.

In addition, when the parrot is found to be depilated, besides targeted treatment, it should also pay attention to improving its diet, supplementing it with appropriate probiotics for birds, and taking it to bathe in the sun and spend more time with them during the treatment. If conditions permit, it is suggested to buy an extra companion of the same kind, which is more conducive to the physical and mental health of parrots.
