hello all! so Ive had my turquoise gcc for a while now and hes really cute and playful but a total like brat lol, but i want to know if its natural if he doesnt let me preen him still. he likes to wrestle and play hard, but he is also very cuddly and like to play under the blankets and what not, but he just doesnt let me preen him ://.
i see pin feathers stilling out everywhere and he'll only let me get them very rarely and i know the process of pin feathers and all that they my not be ready and still have blood in them but i can clearly see that the tips already have the feathers coming out, he just gets so sensitive about it. I also see him trying to scratch himself like a dog would and also more like a macaw or a cockatoo would.
its kinda worrying me now because I know it feels very uncomfortable for them. is there any home remedy i can use or product i can get? Is it even natural that they do this?
when i took him to the vet to get his sexing and tests done the vet said that he did have a lot of pin feathers and i told him this but he said it wasnt anything to worry about then but i still do lol.
Anyone know what can help me? do i have to physicaly hold him down and do it? im pretty sure its not healthy and they can get infected or ingrown or something right?
the vet said he was also a little under weight but he said its probably from not eating breakfast i dont know if that could help
Also I go give him baths everyday!and especially right now i give him two because its so hot and dry in california right now
