Some of you will remember when Monster first started plucking and me trying to figure out what could be causing it. Tried aloe spray, herbs, diet change, more toys, less toys, different setups, with and without Monkey....for awhile I thought it was certain peppers but it didn’t make much difference cutting them out.
So everyone probably knows by now I have a lot of snakes. Most needing very high humidity and this winter I bought a humidifier for the room that has both my birds and snakes in it. Months later monster is fully feathered again and not plucking or even overpreening. He hasn’t been fully feathered since I gave up trying to stop him years ago. The room stays between 40-50% humidity and this has been working for him very well. It makes sense that not all the birds can handle our low humidity levels when they are from the same areas as my high humidity snakes haha. The room was getting down to 20% humidity without a humidifier in it.
Monster fully feathered
And some of Monkey just because...
Also, I have found out that Monster will die shortly after Monkey if she goes first. When I separated them for a short period because he was causing Monkey to lay too many eggs he almost dropped dead from eating very little and being depressed. Monkey didn’t even care a little about being separated though lol
