Comments for Parrot Feather Problems

We have a female Amazon Moscow parrot. We got her without feathers on her chest and in the back of her neck. And she been plucking out her feathers. We don't have the money to take her to the vet. I don't know what else to do

My yellow napes Amazon is 50 years old and always healthy. He has episodes where his wing feathers get out of line and stand straight out. He leaves them like that for quite awhile before working them back in place. He is free flighted but doesn’t fly anymore. He eats well and gets a shower every week. Doesn’t seem sick and everything is the same except for these wing feathers.

Please please help my Alexandrine Parrot!! He has been with us several years, but off late I noticed he has lost a patch of feathers under his wing. Now I noticed feathers missing under the wing on his body as well. He is very active, not lost his appetite or anything and it doesn’t seem to be affecting him in anyway.

My Military Macaw has always had dry skin. It is now over 20 old and has started to develop what appears to be white tipped shafts sticking out of it primary feather cover. Does anyone know what it could be? I am getting concerned.

I’m just here because I found one albino feather on my green wing macaw lol. It kind of has color enough to tel it’s a green wing feather but not only is it in the wrong spot but it’s mostly without pigment.
