my bird is pulling her feathers out

My Pacific parrotlet keeps pulling out her feathers its become pretty bad and I’ve tried everything I don’t know what to do please help

Hi Tara,

Feather plucking can be a complicated diagnosis, but Vets are learning more about the problem. I would recommend taking her to a board certified Avian Vet. Certain health issues as well as poor nutrition are the common causes of feather plucking.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
