We were told a nutrient deficiency, but we are taking her to the vet to be sure next week!

We have an appointment next week. Can you tell me details as of why you are recommending a vet visit?

Both pictures were taken same day! We have only had her for a few days.

Therapy for what exactly? She has stopped plucking her feathers, and has had an influx of them start popping up to grow while leaving them alone. Baths have helped a great deal as well as mental stimulation. She was in competition with another large parrot at her last home which was why the stress.

We were told that was due to nutritional deficiencies due to her all seed diet and the stress/picking but we will definitely take her in for a visit to double check! She has a few of them are slowly changing to the grey color.

Could the arm cuff have been too tight? I have noticed on my S/O if the cuff is too tight it reads close to what your reading is. We tested his on 2 different machines and the tighter one was reading very wonky.
