How to Recognize Feather Plucking in Parrots & Take care

- Hello Buddies,
We tried covering the entire subject as much as we know and as much as we could.
The most obvious thing we didn't speak about - of course, when you see your budgie plucking its feathers, stop it from doing it right away! Even if it costs holding your budgie against its will.
We are not experts and don't claim to be, please visit a vet when you suspect that your bird is suffering from feather plucking.
In case your budgie is plucking its feathers aggressively, the vet will provide a collar for birds to prevent them being able to pick their feathers, but in case the vet didn't provide a collar, you can create one yourself using the bottom of a bottle, just melt the sides of the bottle so your bird doesn't get hurt from the sharp edges.
Thank you for watching!

I noticed my budgie doing this! Thank you so much, I will probably be getting my boy a friend to prevent thism
A friend and toys! Good luck
What the videos showing is not budgie plucking. Budgie preens and makes his/her feathers tidy daily. If a budgie is really plucking feathers, you will see bald spot. I take my budgie to the vet for a yearly check up. He does the same and he is a single bird. My vet said that he’s a really healthy budgie. The key is not to get a budgie and dumps him in the cage. I spend at least 4 hours a day (not continuously) to bond with him. He has no issue. Just a happy bird. As long as you spend lots of time with him, even a single budgie, sure he is alone but he is not lonely. There’s a difference.
Advised people DO NOT GET BIRDSI.. THIS TOO HARD TO SEE THEM SUFFERING PICKING UP THEIR FEATHERS
@@zxznbvc8251bad advice. You're a terrible owner. Show them care and they're fine.
@@righthandstep5my budgie was Biting my old budgie and it died
Cucumber is good for feather plucking.
I have a single budgie and I spend a lot of time with him I never knew this and when I go out I put budgie sounds on for him he loves it I only go out on a Tuesday and a Saturday 😞
I got a new budgie, like only 2 days ago, and I really can't tell if she's just cleaning herself or pulling feathers, she stretches and stuff but I don't want to interact with her yet cuz she only just got home. And don't wanna stress her out.
So useful👏👏👏👏
I saw a solid tail feather plucked or fallen out by one of my birds and I don’t know what to do
Tail features can fall out sometimes, it's not something irregular.
Pay attention to see if your budgie is actually plucking his feathers.
For more questions, I'm here :)
Thank you 😁 I’ll pay more attention to to see if they are plucking their feathers!
Me to :((
So my mother gave me a budgie as a birthday gift and to be from that been taking so good care of it and he’s charge to bloke is feathers a lot what do I do
Please help my birds also removing feathers of Other bird 😞😞😞
Thank you for this.... :)
Thank you very much!
I’m so mad I want a bird so I’m doing a lots of research I just went into a store and the people that own the store had there birds where everyone could see and little kids were bothering the birds the one bird that was 8 years old had 80% of there feathers gone and he was shaking I talked to a worker about this and they said “no he’s fine he’s just cold” that was the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and the skin that you could see was red and so bad I ask if they have ever taken the bird to the vet and they said “no they don’t need to go to the vet there fine” I was so mad I left the store! But I was wondering what should I do so I looked up a tone of stuff about birds and made a presentation about ever thing wrong with the birds I called a bird rescue and ask if they could come and see what was going so they came I should the workers my presentation and then we called animal control and got the birds to the bird rescue
thank you so much for all your hard work. not everyone would have done that. I'm grateful for people like you
Wow.. you are an incredible human being
wow you literally saved those birds lives ❤️❤️ I hate how stores always tell people when they get a bird that “they only need seeds and water” and they also sell terrible toys as well.
The birds at my pet store are in tiny class cages, 3 birds in each, one dowel perch, seed diet, one small metal toy to climb on. I adopted the ones I could. Only two. But they are now in good care.
@@gglovesgorillazmj7784 so true. 😞
Hi Pet Parrot Lovers,
Our male Eclectus (Mambo) has been living with us for 20 years now (Australia).
We hope this feedback "Comment" helps other pet parrot owners, as this is why and how we have had no difficulty with Mambo 🦜plucking his feathers:
1) Early in Mambo being our young, hand-raised, tame pet parrot family member we noticed that Mambo would intentionally bath itself when given its morning fresh clean drinking water 💦 (fresh water also given late afternoon before his tea), but he would choose to bathe himself only once weekly, and would also get our attention too!
2) We early read that the Eclectus parrots' original natural habitat is the Tropical Rain Forests of North Queensland and the Tropical Highland Rainforests of PNG (Papua New Guinea), & some of the tropical Pacific Islands. That’s when we thought that they would live with showers of rain 🌧 in their original tropical rainforest habitat, and we put this together with Eclectus’s also being a very high DANDER bird that Mambo would probably enjoy, at his chosen time to bath, with us also giving him a gentle shower spray with an indoor pot plants water 💦 spray bottle, set to the widest lightest water spray setting.
Well yes indeed! Mambo LOVES his weekly bath 🛁 plus light water-spray shower all over and under his body -- he even spreads his wings wide so we can spray under both his wings and both sides of his chest. Mambo lets us know when he's had enough of the water spray by. heading to his roosting-nightly high sleeping perch. Mambo prefers this weekly wash in the morning, and he happily chats away after his bath and water spray.
So pet parrot lovers, our take on why Eclectus parrots 🦜 (& some other parrots too!) have a reputation for being feather-pluckers is NOT necessarily a nervousness condition, nor consequent to a health issue or boredom either, but rather with their high dander skin-replacing body, the build-up of dander becomes irritating to them. Thus the scratching and pecking at their irritated skin (with feathers coming out while trying to relieve themselves of the dander skin irritation) is why parrots understandably scratch & peck their skin.
I would be scratching my skin too if I didn't shower regularly, and I don't even have a high-dander skin!🤗 And yes, the stress-factor to the parrot with the DANDER irritation can understandably impact their general health and wellbeing, and happiness!
This DANDER skin irritation probably adds to bad behaviour, like screeching, etcetera.
We have 3 pet parrots, and they have never had the problem of plucking feathers.
They all live indoors in our home with us to keep them safe from outside predators (snakes, rats, and predatory birds - e.g. Butcher Birds, Magpies). I have had pet birds most of my 70 year life - and approximately 100 racing pigeons as a young teenager and belonged in the latter 1960’s to the Brisbane QLD Racing Pigeon Federation (the best I got was a 3rd place 🥉 in a long distance pigeon race back to their loved home lofts -- birds love an easy resort-lifestyle and security).
Enjoy wonderful pet birds, as they love human company too!
Cheers, Garzo 🎶🦜

Thank you I will get my bird another friend. I was on vacation for a week and when I came back I noticed that he couldn't fly high and his feathers looked curled up. I also noticed that he plucked out his blood feathers I was really sad but thanks for the advice
Thank u so much I didnt realise that birds can be sad lonely now i give my bird some attention bc i love her but am going to stay with my sis for 5 or idk days but my mom doesn't take care of my bird
Just a week ago, I had to move my budgie from my dad's home to my mom's because my dad is going on a trip. She had been living in his home for over 2 years. I think she is stressed out by the new environment, because she has started to pluck and it is behaviour I have never seen her do before.
Thanks for information... My bird has breathing problem... Is he plucking feathers because of that?
I got 2 parakeets exactly 2 months ago. Today when I went to change their food I saw that there were so many feathers everywhere. I spent some time watching and they are plucking their feathers and I don’t know what to do. We don’t bring them to the vet, is there anyway I can get them to stop?
My budgie plucks his tail feathers. I havent seen any fall out lately but if you look at his tail its all messy, and dirty tail feathers about to just fall out. Ive tried providing him with toys but he still does it. I dont think hes molting because this has gone for 2 months and budgies dont really molt that long...
i can’t tell if my bird is preening or plucking his feathers
I'm pretty sure my budgie is extremely bored since she's the only one I have. I bought her a mirror so that she wouldn't be so lonely but she just ignores it. I want to get another budgie for her but my parents won't let me. I don't know what to do to make her less lonely :/
(I do talk to her and try to play with her but all she does all day is sit on her perch and look bored, she also has many toys such as a bell and a swing and I have snacks in there for her but she doesn't eat them.)
innxcently
Hello,
We're sorry for replaying late.
Are you letting your budgie outside of the cage everyday? Do you let her hang around the room, fly around the room and explore it?
We give our budgies the entire day outside of their cage, they know how and when to return by themselves when the sun goes down.
We leave the cage door open for them so they could go back for food and water when they feel like it, we let them perch on a chandelier or some other high and safe place where they are comfortable, we cover the bottom area with newspaper so their droppings won't make a mess, this is how they enjoy themselves and have fun.
So, if you have the option, shut the window and doors, open her cage and let her out everyday, if she doesn't want to go back inside the cage at night, just turn off the light and capture her very gently and softly (they are nearly blind when its dark. Never try to capture her aggressively or run after her, she will lose trust in you) and place her back in the cage on her favorite perch.
Always play cartoons for her, such as Spongebob or anything from that kind, they like all of the sounds and colors, it keeps them distracted.
We hope that you will find our suggestions useful.
Watch our other videos for more suggestions and ideas.
And don't forget to stimulate their tastes with new and adventurous fruits and vegetables that are safe for budgies.
Thank you and good luck :)
Salvador Budgie I let her out a couple times a day and I always have the cage door open. whenever she flies out she always ends up flying into something like the wall or a door. I'm really scared she's going to hurt herself. any ideas? :(
innxcently Is your budgie a female? If yes, it may be pregnant. Buy a nesting box and see what happens.
your budgie may be ill.
@•Happy• •Blank• IKR!? Mirrors are horrible for them that’s probably why the other guy said she might be nesting. Mirrors cause them to be hormonal. This owner needs some more research!!!!!
I have male and female parakeets I’ve had them for about 3 1/2 to 4 months now. The entire time I have had them I have seen them repeatedly each daily plucking their feathers and using their beaks to groom each other on their head. They also use their feet to spread the feathers on their wings. I never thought much of it until the last month or so when I noticed that they were no longer pulling out tiny feathers but also their tail feathers. They’re eating good and chirp all day long so I think they’re Happy enough. In the beginning the female laid two eggs however I didn’t have a breeding cage/box so needless to say when they hit the bottom of the cage the shells broke in half. I haven’t seen any eggs since. I’m starting to get worried even though they’re eating and such I wonder if they have mites or lice or both?? I really don’t know what to do I don’t wanna see them get sick yet I don’t know if they already are?? Please help me!
Can u give example for my bird what he can do he got toys he dont play with them but he plucked himseld
My budgie has a huge cage and tons of toys, but it still looked like he was plucking so I got another bird but she isn't very interested in interacting with him.
is it normal for new parrots in new cages cuz i got my today but he doesnt do that alot
My budgie is losing a lot of feathers (mostly flight feathers but one tail feather) I’m really worried that he is pulling them out but he might be molting idrk
Actually not giving them bath may cause skin infection due to that they itchy and their feathers fall down. when she preening small feathers come is it good. Please reply
I just recently got two budgies and one of them has feather lost under its wings. I can see why its scared, since my siblings try and carried them too early into their stay. They are nice and bubbly so I dont see why they would pluck. Any help?
birds dont usually have feathers under where their "armpits" are
We found a bird in my backyard, he has a broken leg, and some of his skin is showing, and he always bites his feathers. We always find lots of feathers that have been removed like his tail and also his wings. We took him to the vet and the vet gave us some vitamins and calcium for him and said that when he gets better we will give him like something for his skin. I don’t know what the name of it is but yeah. And we’ve taken care of him for almost 3 weeks now but he still didn’t get used to us. And we try to cheer him up by letting him outside the cage but he doesn’t want to get out of his cage. Any advices?
What kind of bird is it?
What i can advise you is follow all the things i said in the video.
You need to give it some time, 3 weeks is not enough for the bird to recover from plucking its features.
Salvador Budgie, it’s a cocktail I don’t know if I spelled that right. But we brought him another bird(the same kind) we thought maybe that would help but the vet said not to put them too close to each other because maybe it can spread?
@@shahedbasem Please listen to your vet and don't put them together otherwise some sort of skin disease can affect your cockatiel.
Place them apart for as long as you can, wash your hands everytime after dealing with each of them as you might cause the infection or disease to spread.
Salvador Budgie - thank you so much for the advices!
@@Bird-Nuggets o
Both of my budgies pluck their feathers and their feathers fall everywhere. I get worried about this
I have two budgies and the male ia plucking his feathers. They have no toys since I got them yesterday, I will get them toys or make them myself. Hope that helps solve the problem.
Hi, can you please help me. I have 2 budgies and they itch and plocking out their feathers, they are happy and playful budgies, so I need your help what are their problems.
Hey, as said in the video feather plucking could happen from many reasons, depression, skin diseases etc.
You need to take them to a vet as soon as possible
Thats why they keep doing that!!
My female finch always plucking feathers of my male finch.
Literally made him bald from side of his ear.
Please tell me what to do m so worried 😢
I have 2 budgies and both of them are doing this
My budgie plucking his feathers for 4 years he stopped it 2 times but started again he has a bird friend which one is female im caring him but he didnt stopped it
My birds feet are bleed and their nose is bleeding, the veterinarian is off work right now... Someone please give me advice, I can’t lose him he is very special.... ಥ╭╮ಥ
Hello..
What is the reason for bleeding?
If this is a wound, you should use a q tip dipped in a poladin (antiseptic) and apply it on the wound.
But I really suggest you look for a veterinarian in another area. In some situations time is valuable. You have to take care of it!
Salvador Budgie Thank you so much. I will go look at veterinarians who work full time. :)
suicidal is he ok now? what happened?
My budgie keeps plucking the feathers under his wing, I don’t know if it’s preening. And he does have another budgie on his cage… though it is a male he’s been living with him all his life, but my mom has a friend and they gave those budgies to us, their cage was very dirty but I have 2 and only one is feather plucking, and their not tame yet…after that today we washed the cage, we don’t have a vet either we got them yesterday! They also keep shaking and puffing up…. any advice would be helpful😰
Ik still not sure whether its plucking or just molting. I have 2 budgies and one of them is missing some feathers under the wing but i havent seen any solid feathers on the ground. The feathers dont have blood on them either but im still concerned since the feathers under his wing are missing
Some budgies have missing feathers under their wings which is normal.
If you're still worried I would suggest on visiting a vet so they could do a thorough check.
@@Bird-Nuggets ok thank you!
Good veadyo 💕

I just got a bird and I think he’s plucking. What should I do?
I’m really scared for my bird :( he keeps plucking and I think he might be depressed.. i don’t know what to do, I could not bare it if I lost him..
Please do your best to follow the instructions in the video.
Don't give up, do anything you can to help him...i also have some DIY videos for chewing toys that can be helpful too.
Okay, thank you so much! I will do anything to help my budgie :D
i see always in my room feathers but i cant detect where is she plucking it out
but if she is on my head she plucks my hear out (i dont know if she likes it or something?)
Hi,
Pay close attention, she might have bald areas if she is actually plucking herself.
If not, it could also be molting.
You can try and research online and differ the symptoms.
Good luck
My budgie is plucking feather of another budgie what to do plz tell
My bird is just gliding his beak harshly across his feathers is that a bad sign..
cartoons. yes.
my lil bud loves spongebob :]
So does mine! He chirps so much when I play an episode!!
I found a leg injured budgie,,,
he also do these all things what i should do?
Please take it to a vet or contact one online, try pet coach
My bird has almost no feathers under his wing, though my other bird is completely fine and plays with all his toys. I do have two, and they are friends. I have many toys, give them fruits and veggies daily mixed in with their seed, cuttlebone, bath, coconut hide, mirror, and let them out of their cage regularly. I'm scared for her health, please help. :((
Hey there!
Your budgie has feathers all over but just none under his wings?
Budgies usually don't have much feathers under their wings, and it's not that there aren't many, but it's just messy since it's more difficult for them to preen it, and that makes bold spots visible.
Also, did you actually notice your budgie plucking his feathers?
As long as he is kept entertained, I don't see a reason for this to happen, UNLESS he has some kind of physical illness that causes that to happen.
@@Bird-Nuggets Yes, my bird has feathers all over his body it's just under his wing that are are not many. I also have never seen him pluck feathers, only preening them. Thanks for the help :D
I believe that there isn't an issue with your budgie. Good luck :)
@@Bird-Nuggets Thank you so much :D
@@Bird-Nuggets I am currently feeding my two birds 6 heaping spoonfuls of seed. Is that enough? That was the recommended amount on the packaging and I can't find a direct answer to if this is true :(
Hey, I can't understand what's happening to my budgie. Is she having molt or pluching feather?
Every morning when I remove the cage cover, I see a few feathers, sometimes big feathers, too.
How can I understand it?
You have to monitor closely.
Is she preening all day long? Does she have loss of feathers and can you visually see it?
For how long has it been like that?
@@Bird-Nuggets she has a routine of preening time, at 2-3 pm at noon, sometimes in the morning, too😅
But I thinks she is having molt, because I saw pin feathers at her head.
What do you think?😕
Thank u so much
But my mom won’t get me another bird bc the last time I had one and blue killed berry there names is blue and berry
Please answer. Every time my budgie fluffs up after preening, he would loose a couple of his little feathers. And now, he would preen and I would see a little feather in his mouth. Is he molting and trying to detach the loose feathers, or is he plucking
It’s fine, birds preen with their beak so they’ll occasionally get feathers in their mouth.
hi i found a feather (it looked like a quill but we dont own those) and lots of fluff around my budgies cage. i’m not allowed to get him a friend but i try to give him all my attentiion. i try to get him out of the cage, but it only works sometimes, but when he does come out he stays out for the whole day. he hates veggies and fruits. is it plucking or is it molting im really concerned..
Hello, you should pay attention to see if he actually is plucking his feathers.
The feathers you found sounds like just regular molting.
You can try giving him herbs that are allowed for budgies, maybe he will like it.
If you're not around him, you can play the TV for him, or budgie sounds on CZcams.
You can buy him budgie treats so he can discover new things.
Good luck, for more questions I'm here :)
My cockatiel is plucking his feathers and idk if it’s his environment, but he actually has been picking at his chest and there is blood there. I don’t know if it’s a disease but my parents won’t take me to the vet to get him checked out. They just gave me a first aid kit and I’m worried bc i don’t know what to do
Ring the vet and tell them so they can give some advice.also get a friend if it hasent got one already
My bird is also doing this help me
Slavor does this work with ither types of birds beacuse my bird us doing this
Absolutely, it can work with every parrot
Thank you so much
please help my budgies Lost its tail cause my sister was holding it and the tail came out.he seems stressed... what should I doo
Just very gently pluck him to match so he wont overbalance
Help! My budgie went to fly out of his cage and then hit the couch right on his head and wing, when he was in control he plucked out one of his wing feathers! Is this bad? His friend is giving him so,e nice scritches to calm him down and me and my parents want to help, what should we do
Take it to the vet if it's hurt they are fragile and can have internal damage
Halima Talib my birds is ok now, he is acting just like before and he hasn’t plucked any more feathers, I will still watch him to make sure he is 100% alright cus we don’t hv any local vets
i srsly cant notice the difference between preening or plucking could you help? i have him for 2 weeks now he does exactly what the budies in the videos do and until now i only found 3 feathers in his cage is he plucking or just accidental during preening?
Hello, it sounds like he is not plucking but preening.
Three feathers would be accidental, you would have most likely noticed more if he was plucking.
When they pluck, you will also be able to see that it's a bit more aggressive as he is pulling or breaking his feathers, unlike preening that he is more gentle and you can figure that he is only taking care of himself.
@@Bird-Nuggets thank you very much ! i was really scared the way he does it is he goes to the base of the feather and moves his beak swiping it all the way to the top also only tail feathers have fallen off.
My bird stitch plucks his feathers right now
My bird dyed and my other is depressed she is removing feathers
That is very sad.
😢😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😣
Mine too
You had a bird that looked like stitch
I have 4 and 2 of them won’t stop I don’t know what to do
I got them toys and the thing is they won’t play with the toys
Play some chirping music that should calm them
@@beatsbytani7875 or give them pets and play with them for a bit
Who wouldn’t be depressed locked up in a cage? Birds deserve to be out flying freely.
Some bird species around the world can not survive in the wild as they are brought to specific countries as pets only, and do not actually exist as flocks in nature.
A budgie in my country will die within a few days in the wild.
Generally, our budgies only eat, drink and sleep in their cage.
They are outside of their cage on a daily basis for the entire day, and that's how it should be.
Is it the same with other birds
Absolutely
@@Bird-Nuggets thank you! I couldn't tell, I think he's just molting.
Yeah cause my brid just pulled a feather out
What if one of your birds is plucking the other one???
Hello,
You have to separate them in that case.
Two different cages, one for each and place them near each other with lots of toys and new simulations on a daily and even hourly basis.
Such as fruits, vegetables and food in general that are allowed of course.
Obviously let them play together when they are outside and watch them carefully.
If they pluck each other don't yell or do anything that might harm their trust in you.
Your budgie needs to forget that routine and that will only happen within a few weeks or even months and only if he has enough distractions/simulations.
Once he forgets, return them to the same cage and always keep an eye open.
Please make sure you subscribe, we have plenty more helpful videos for you :)
Wish you good luck!
Salvador Budgie thank you so much I hope this will help❤️❤️
I have all my budgies doing it😢
cute hamsters
Hello,
You should consider starting to take serious care of the situation, take all of our advices and suggestions in this video and try to treat them and get them to stop doing that.
Promise yourself on not giving up on them, never return them to the store or get rid of them in any other way, that would be the most cruel thing to do.
Let them out of the cage for as long as you can, leave the door of the cage open and let them explore the room.
Good luck
My bird keeps plucking and losing feathers, he has a big bald spot on his chest and belly and also the top of his head and it gotter bigger I don't know why he's losing so much... I feed him millets, seeds, fruits and vegetable mix for parrots and apple, I spray him every week just in case if he has mites and clean his cage every 2 days I started to put paper at the bottom of his cage instead of pieces of wood because maybe its the wood that gives him mites and bacteria and its also hard to clean the cage properly because of it so I decided to remove it. I also clean him every week but he's still itching and removing feather I'm so worried I really don't know what to do what is the reason he's doing this :( btw he is a happy playful bird he clicks his tongue and chatters a lot but is on his own whenever I show him birds on my phone he whimpers
do you let him out everyday? also he should have plenty of toys to distract hum
him i mean
@@5kulld yeah I let him out of his cage everyday for 3 hours, and he has 3 toys in his cage. I'm thinking about getting more but it will be too crowded for him to move around. And he got better now his feather grew back but not completely, and I think that he lost his feathers beause he had a bad diet he used to only eat seeds and apple before. Because when I used to give him fresh vegetables and fruits, he never used to eat it. So then I ordered vegetables and fruit mix for parrots and now he does eat it.
@@XMeamerOG OK if be still does it after some time, order some antipluck spray apply that everyday on his body, make sure it doesnt get on his head and that should do it
@@5kulld I will if he still continues to pluck, thank you for your advice!
This is not the main reason . I have seen owners with two parrots yet they start plucking feathers and some owners have one parrot and they are fine. Main reason is oil produced in parrot body which cause parrot to itch and they keep itching it and start plucking feathers. If this is happening you should change ur parrot diet immediately
I think all four of my birds are plucking I'm worried
It could be a skin disease, you should take them to the vet as soon as possible
Is it me, or did he just say 'feather fucking?'
this is sad
I think my birdnis lonley
When he says plucking it sounds like fu#####
Please dont be cruel and dont keep poor birds in prison/ cage.
Ok I will free them so a stray cat will eat them
@@Bird-Nuggets
Well I’m pretty sure you know what I exactly meant. :)
Do not support the breeding in captivity and do not buy birds to cage them from beginning.
