Amazon parrot losing feathers

[Bedlam]

I have a wild caught Amazon blue front for 32 years now.
One of her wings, she's not growing any feathers, and now it seems to be happening to the other wing.
I brought her to an avian vet 2 years ago, and all blood tests and so forth came back fine.
The vet had no idea what happened to the bird and even suspected I did something to it. I was offended, to say the least.

Is there any chance this is a sign of old age? I have no idea how old she was when they caught her (back when it was legal), so she could be older than I am (51).

She rarely sings anymore, sleeps a lot, never plays with toys anymore, seems a lot weaker, but still loves to eat like she's a dog. Still loves to get her head/side of her head scratched.

Also, I was told she was she, back when I got her, and they said there was a tattoo under her wing stating this, but "she" has never laid an egg, ever. The vet had never heard of anything like this, involving a tattoo.

Also, she's not stressed or plucking. You can see the skin on what's left of her wing.

Any ideas? Besides finding a new avian vet?
I can't seem to find much info on a bird losing feathers due to old age, just from feather plucking.

Following... I’ve never heard of anything like this-
Can you post photos?
What is your birds diet?
Do you give supplements? If so what kind?
Do you give vitamin D3?

I did a quick web search and found this https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...on-wings-wont-grow-back-looks-painful.613214/

- not sure if the photo looks similar to your amazon’s feathers but a user said it looked like a protein and vitamin deficiency. My amazon shortly after I got her started eating the inside of her feather shaft. I gave her Marinecollagen powder mixed with cheese (she loves cheese) I have her as much as she wanted and and she hasn’t eaten the inside of her feathers since. I also later stated vitamin supplements for feather growth as everyone is molting. Something that I always sprinkle in their food when I give sprouts is a vitamin A and D3 supplement. (Also have algae and avian herbs).w

What you are saying and reality is not the same. Your Vet see's Avians, but is not an Avian Vet: CAV (Certified Avian Vet). Avian Vet Studies clearly defines what and where a taboo is and what it means.

Even in their 50's a Healthy Amazon will be active as the species has the capability of life spans into their 70's.

With in the Amazon sub-forum are two Threads at the top. One defines Amazon Body Language and the other provides a knowledge base regarding lovering and living with Amazons. With in that huge Thread there is a segment regarding a Healthy Diet. Please read it and begin enhancing your Amazon's diet.

Blood Testing and older Amazons need to occur at the minimum every two years. IMHO, I like every 15 months as that will cause the the test to cover each quarter of the year. With a senior Amazon I would use every 9 months. Senior Amazons are prone to Heart problems and/or fatty liver issues.

Parrots of size molt their wing and tai feathers over several years. An Amazon that is not receiving a healthy diet and/or is sick /unhealthy will not molt feathers!

Sadly, you need to find a Avian Medical Professional! Your Amazon needs to be seen by a true professional and soon.
