Hello, recently I've noticed that my parrot is losing one of his huge feathers once in a while... Like a flight feather (not the main ones that are black) and one of the Red tail feathers, and other random medium size feathers.
It's not everyday but seems to happen every few days.. I believe he is pulling them out himself because I seen him do it only once, but it was as if he was just preening himself (I witnessed this while I was walking around with him having fun in the house)
However; NONE of these feathers have any trace of blood.
Is their a cause for worry? I have gone to the vet before and they thought nothing of the feathers.
His diet consists of:
First Meal:
Totally Organic Pellets/ Sesame seed mix in the morning. (around 4 teaspoons of seeds and 4 teaspoons pellets)
Second Meal:
Brown rice or Quinoa and Bell peppers or Broccoli or Romane Lettuce
Throughout the day for treats: Approx 1 or 2 Veggie Nutriberri
(just an example)
