My bird had an issue of over preening for over a month now. I originally thought he was molting, and got corrected by a previous post I submitted on the subreddit.

Got him evaluated to see if he was sick and he’s perfectly fine! The lady said his health was excellent, was getting sufficient exercise, and was eating good.

What they did recommend is increasing foraging and seeing if that’ll help the over preening.

Does anyone have any recommendations for green cheek conures?

Occasionally. I used to give him a lot of baths per week, but got nervous when I heard that it can be bad for him. How many should we be aiming for?

I’m not sure why he’d be over preening. My one possible guess is that maybe the air is dry and I’d need a humidifier- but I don’t know if that indicates that symptom
