So before I start I do have a vet appointment but due to there being few avian vets in the area there is a wait and I canāt afford a pet hospital. I believe that my 9 year old conure is plucking out his feathers. Iāve only had him for about two months and he just started one day. The pet store lady told me it could be molting and not to worry. So it was fine. I had added another make during this time with him because they both came from the same cage in the store. Unfortunately by the ladyās word that they wouldnāt hurt each other. They didnāt but it seemed as if they over cared for each other and the 9 year old over preened the six month old. So thatās when I separated them and it then escalated to the 9 year old pulling out almost all his feathers. At first they looked chewed off but now itās getting down to almost no feathers on his chest and back. His head partial of wings and tail isnāt touched though for which i assume he canāt reach. I try to let him out of his cage at least 3 hours a day, he get fresh water a vegetable and seed diet. Iāve added crushed eggshells on food. New toys and preening toys to his cage but since Iāve got him I havenāt seen him touch a toy. But from what I know from his background heās a rescue bird so maybe he has some past trauma that had made him have this bad habit. I would just love some guidance until I can get to my vet. I donāt want to see him hurt himself heās really sweet and doesnāt show any aggressiveness. Thanks!
