I have posted twice recently about Pacho my red lored amazon. She had started plucking her feathers and I have taken her into the vet twice.:green1:
The vet only found 2 things wrong. She was very overweight and had some bacterial infection (human bacteria).
Both of these issues have been successfully treated.
The change I have noticed in her behavior is remarkable. She has regained an interest in grooming her cage mate, something I have not seen much of lately And she has been playing with TOYS.
I really can’t remember the last time I saw her show any interest in play. She does not play all the time but when she does she really goes at it, very energetic. I am sure she feels much better now.
Just wanted to share and update Pacho’s condition.
Her feathers still look bad and she is still pulling out down feathers but it’s just 4 or 5 a day. I hope she gets over that soon.

Awesome update :D. Looks like Pacho is loving life again! It's such a good feeling to know they've improved and are doing well. Gorgeous head color!

Glad to hear Pacho is improving. I'm sure it is wonderful to see her regain an interest in play and in her cage mate.
