Why Is My Baby Senegal Parrot Plucking It’s Feathers?
Debbie C. reached out for advice
Hello Mitch,
I have a Senegal baby parrot, four months old. It is pulling its feathers out. I have had Senegal parrots before, and I never had a plucking problem with them. This bird has everything.
I don’t understand why it pulls out its own feathers? It is breaking my heart. I would appreciate Any advice, & help that you can give me.
Thank you sincerely.Â

African Grey Parrot - Psittacus erithacus in front of a white background
Banjo, the African Grey
I have an African Grey who simply loves only me.
However, when I let him out of his cage to wander around, he insists on biting my woodwork! Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior?
When he does this, I put him back in his cage. He really doesn’t want to go and ruffles his feathers.
Thanks,
Joanne

English Budgie With a Splayed Leg That Chews on His Wing – Conundrum
Hi, I have a 7-month-old English budgie that was born with one splayed leg that sticks straight out.
His wings were over-clipped when I got him at 2 months of age.Â
I have waited un-patiently for his wings to grow out as my other parakeets are flighted.

The Challenge of Caring for a One-eyed African Grey
Aloha!
I am truly enjoying your email newsletters. Very informative.
Need some of your advice, I have a Timneh African Gray named “Saber”, now I think about 30 years old. I ended up buying him when he was about 3-4 years old. For several months I would visit the pet shop and always stopped by Sabers cage to play and talk with him.
