my parrot, Lucy is her name is chewing on one ankle, the left one and pulling feathers out only on the one spot, I took her to the vet and he said it is an itch and he gave me some spray, that was several months ago and now she is at it again.... it's not really that bad, and she has drawn blood only one time.... I am worried about it, overall she is healthy, she has a good diet, good posture, eyes are clear, she plays, screams, and does all the things a healthy parrot would do... if anyone can offer any insight to this problem I would really appreciate it. she hasn't been on the leg the past couple of days.... but I can't figure out why she is doing this just to one foot/ leg..... so please anyone if you have an answer please let me know, thank you very much. oh and by the way I live in Germany the selection of avian vets is sparse... here in the area I live in.... but as I said this is not life threatening, but I am worried just the same.she is four yrs old, and has been doing this for about 4-5 months, maybe its puberty!
