the bird has now gone to a bird sancery i tried all i can with him and they asked what i had done to cure it changed toys changed food changed diet etc etc but he still carried on with the feather plucking so hopefully they can help him out

i have tried all sorts and running out of ideas as i said i can not be with him 24/7 so he can be with me all the time its not as if the house is empty when i'm out has my patner and kids are home but he doesnt seem to be any diffrent so what can i do

he never did this till about 2 weeks ago and he seems to chew his nails aswell to be honest i dont want him to be there bold as the egg he came from , i have tried all sorts from changing his food , to more and diffrent toys etc but nothing has changed the toys he has no intrest in at all none of them intrest him i even tried baby toys ,but nothing keeps him from biting his feathers and to be honest he looks a fool

does anyone know where the nearest parrot rescue is in lincolnshire as i'm at my wits end now i have a baby grey he is 19 weeks old , i have tried all sorts from changing his diet , new toys , perches etc and yet he seems to still bite his feathers off he has already chewed his tail off and has no red feather left at all and chewed his wings now he can not hardly fly just drops to floor now , but he constantly still bites his feathers i thought it might just be his baby feathers or has they say molting but i can not be there 24/7 telling him NO to stop biting his feather so i think its time to let him go to a rescue who can sort his problem out so looking for rescue in lincolnshire

hi he has a vary of things to eat from fruit , veg , nuts etc he has toys but doesnt seem intrested in them alot so was wondering if worth putting more in but dont want to put to many in his cage he doesnt seem to be pulling the feathers out but just chewing them till they break off and then he chews them and spits them to bottom of his cage

hi we have a 18 week old a/g i have posted a problem with him in another section regarding him biting his feathers off

i have a 18 week old african grey which has started chewing his feathers , he now has no red feathers on his tail , i have been told he may be learning to (moult)but he does look a bit of a fool he has fruit regular , and has a routine bed time where we cover his cage over for him to get some sleep and regular mist of water sprays i'm just concerned he is going to pluck all his feathers out even though he does not seem to be plucking them out he seems to be biting them off

hi all and thanks for letting me join the site and hopefully i will learn new things and tricks all the best shaun
