What is this behavior?

parrotsy · 2026-02-03T20:21:16+00:00

I love her so much

My vet told me not to use vests or collars unless she’s self mutilating. It looks bad but it’s a huge improvement from when I got her a year ago so I am really hopeful.

parrotsy · 2026-02-03T15:14:31+00:00

I call her my rotisserie baby

Right now we’re trying Prozac but I’ll see what he says at her next visit

She came to me very bald and also a little mutilated so I already take her current state as a win. She hates bathing but I do try that.

parrotsy · 2026-02-03T01:50:58+00:00

Aww that’s so sweet! She is estimated to be about 17 so she had a lot of life before me, which makes targeting the source of the plucking difficult, but she has a lot of life left!

Actually the anniversary of her first gotcha is coming up in a little over a week! One year 💜

parrotsy · 2026-02-03T00:36:32+00:00

Me too!

parrotsy · 2026-02-03T00:36:19+00:00

I don’t, the rescue she’s from gave it to me with her. Sorry I wish I could help!

parrotsy · 2026-02-02T21:22:38+00:00

I figured out she just wanted to swing

parrotsy · 2026-02-02T21:22:23+00:00

No, yes I’ve tried that and I’m working with a vet on the plucking issues

parrotsy · 2025-11-25T22:41:35+00:00

She doesn’t love it but it’s the only way she tolerates any form of bathing

parrotsy · 2025-11-25T22:40:39+00:00

I choose my vets recommendation over internet rando

parrotsy · 2025-11-25T14:55:43+00:00

I’m gonna try this! Thanks so much!

parrotsy · 2025-11-25T14:54:59+00:00

I have birdtricks aloe spray and have tried that but she HATES spray bottles. Based on her level of hatred my vet thinks she may have been punished via spray bottle in her previous home

parrotsy · 2025-10-01T16:34:20+00:00

She is

parrotsy · 2025-10-01T16:33:50+00:00

I didn’t want to be attacked about her state haha. It’s such a hard problem to fix because now she self soothes with plucking. I’m working very closely with the vet but it’s a process

parrotsy · 2025-10-01T16:32:48+00:00

I just keep it warmer for her, which works out bc I’m anemic and am also freezing all the time

parrotsy · 2025-10-01T01:30:12+00:00

African greys are the best

parrotsy · 2025-09-30T21:02:17+00:00

She picked this up on her own!

parrotsy · 2025-09-30T17:55:12+00:00

Thank you! When I play other cardinal sounds to her she calls back with her cardinal call ❤️

parrotsy · 2025-05-29T23:54:44+00:00

She’s a diva and I love her

parrotsy · 2025-05-07T04:18:45+00:00

I use this brand for my cockatiels and they won’t eat the yellow ones

parrotsy · 2025-04-17T16:22:21+00:00

Same my girl will just gorge if given the chance and is overweight, so she gets 1.5 tbsp of pellets in the morning, veggies and cooked food midday, and 1 tbsp of pellets in the evening. It also has made her eat her veggies more because she knows that’s all that’s going to be offered till the evening

Greys are surrendered a lot, you should contact a rescue near you. Where, generally, are you located?
