marwan121 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hello, My parrot feathers started to fall down 7 months ago and last month i took him to the vet, he gave me a soother spray and injected him with something. Now his white feathers came back but why its not growing back to his original form. Thank you This is his current photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Marwan it takes a while for new contour feathers to form as they are larger and more complex than the soft downy feathers. It looks like your bird has been pulling his own feathers out rather than them falling. The soothing spray should help with that itchy discomfort.

Yes, i used the soother for a week but the problem is the parrot is afraid from it and he doesn't like showering either, but it startes to get better with the soother, when should i stop spraying it on him?

birdhouse Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Most greys need to learn that a bath or spray bath isn't going to kill them. No, I mean really kill them!! lol There's something in a grey's genes apparently because most of them are real haters. You can experiment w/different spray bottles. Sometimes the color of the bottle or the strength of the spray can make a difference. My ekkie gets all nervous if I don't spray her in nice slow even squirts. Maybe it's something about the noise the spray(er) makes...? I don't pretend to understand. I just try to be be as understanding as possible. Talk nice. Apologize all the way thru & give lots of love & treats after. These are a few threads about Elvenking's issues w/Issac. Lots of parronts contributed & covered pretty near everything. So I thought they might make a good crash course. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?200925-Isaac-Is-Taking-Out-Tummy-Feathers&highlight=elvenking http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?202372-I-Know-Why-Isaac-Plucks&highlight=elvenking http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?202542-Someone-Help-With-Isaac&highlight=elvenking Edited August 23, 2015 by birdhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
