Help please

[Britbryan87]

My goffin Ziggy has been plucking and it’s getting bad. I’ve changed his toys around let him out of his cage as soon as I get home but it’s just getting worse I have 2 other birds and they don’t have any issues. I don’t know what to do. He hates the other birds and starts screaming when I give them attention. Any advice please to help.

The first thing is to get your Parrot into a Certified Avian Vet (CAV) to determine if it is a medical issue. This commonly involve at least two Biopics and a full blood screen at a minimum.

Other possibilities ( and the list is extensive ):

Diet can be a concern, especially if there has been a change.

Hormonal issue(s) and associated behavior issues that commonly follow.

Change in family dynamics (both ways)

Making changes to the environment can also trigger /confuse the source(s).

Etc...

Start at the CAV ASAP.

Great advice above!

Has anything else with Ziggy changed? Is it possible to give him a little extra time? Plucking can be for many reasons, including unhappiness and boredom.
