Pet Parrot Health
Hi Doctor,
I’m a bit concerned about my pet parrot lately. She’s 5 month old, and been scratching herself a lot and seems to have some itching issues. She is even plucking feathers. Also, she’s not eating her regular fruits or healthy foods properly, only showing interest in junk food or whatever we are eating (like snacks or chips).
Any suggestions on how to manage her diet, what we can feed her. Any medication fir her itching issue or supplements which I can feed her with petslife formula to support her nutrition or check for skin/feather issues? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, feather plucking & itching can be due to parasites, dry skin, stress or nutritional deficiencies
Avoid giving junk food, it's harmful in long-term. Focus on a balance diet: fresh fruits, leafy greens, sprouts nd a gud bird pellet like vitapol/petlife. You can continue Petslife feather formula, but only under guidance.
No over the counter meds/sprays without avian vet advice.A check-up with an avian vet is strongly advised to rule out mites or infections.Thnx
