It does look to me like it is a bare spot on the chest from possible plucking. Have you seen feathers that look chewed off on the ends? My recommendation is to have this bird seen by your avian vet to rule out anything physical and if not then you will have to see if you can find the reason for this behavior. Has there been any changes in this bird's environment, how long have you had this bird, how old is this bird, do you have other birds or pets? Lots of reasons for this but maybe if we knew some more about the bird we could be of more help to you. How are you reacting to this behavior? If you make a big deal out of it then it could encourage further damage. Please give us more information.

It can mean there is a health issue related to the location where they are pulling feathers. It could be just hormonal or behavioral but do have a Certified Avian Vet. check it out to be certain

Determine the age and possible Sorry if Azaajtkm solving the vacuum in the feathers of the bird please

[Greywings]

I am having a little difficulty understanding your words meaning. Not able to determine age.

Help me please

I am having trouble understanding exactly what you are saying.

Your bird looks less than one year old from the color of the eyes and if I am reading you correctly you have had this bird for 2 months, is that right?

He could be going thru a molt as that would explain the feathers being lost but they don't usually lose in one spot like this shows. I recommend you have him checked out by an avian vet to see if there is a medical reason for that bare spot.

Thank you very much for your cooperation, but I ask you is this plucking of feathers or what??

I love and tell you I'm from the Arab world and live in Iraq. This product does not have, unfortunately, we have

[judygram]

Yes this does look like plucking to me since it is a bare spot.

Maybe you can google the product and see if any company sells it that would ship to your country or if it is available there.

I think she is using Google translate to help her write in English. It seems that your bird is stressed out by looking at the photos. Try and get him some toys, let him out of his cage and have some quality time with him. Give him some attention and love and these feathers will grow again. His cage seems to be very small, and maybe he can't move and play a little. If he is molting he will be losing feathers in different places and not only in one spot. I hope he gets better soon.
