Naked birds
So overtime I noticed that some of my birds like to pluck out each other’s feathers, some being pairs, and I don’t know what causes this behavior. Is there a way to stop it other than separating them and is there any kind of “medicine” that could help them regrow their plumage back?
HELP!
