A mild plucker may be a parrot that is over-preening, barbering, or showing one bald spot. With these birds, you can take a couple of approaches after consulting with your avian veterinarian regarding causes.

Managing Mild Feather Plucking in Parrots

• Providing a bird collar that the bird tolerates to wear during times it plucks
• Minimizing environmental stressors that cause the bird anxiety
• Providing your bird with a premium diet suited for it's species
• Bathing your bird regularly
• Learning behavior modification strategies to reward behaviors that you'd like to see more of and decrease feather plucking in parrots.  Please see The Feather Destructive Behavior Workbook for help.
