PLUCKING PREVENTION - SHOP
livepages::jquery();?>
If you have a pet bird that is over-preening or plucking:
- remember to take him/her to your local Avian Vet to make sure that there isn't a clinical reason for the problem.
- If you are looking for solutions to behavioural plucking due to boredom then you will need to look at a three part solution:
- PUT UP A BARRIER to prevent your bird reaching the over preened areas. We can offer Standard Feather Protectors, Back Closure Feather Protectors, Sturdie Birdies, Ponchos and Noodles.
- INTRODUCE multiple preening toys into the environment like the Mopsy Preener, Preening rope, Preening pole or Preening doll.
- DISTRACT your bird by introducing PUZZLE TOYS to redirect brain activity in a more positive direction. Please pop into our PUZZLE TOY section - we have introductory, intermediate and advanced foragers and puzzle toys to stimulate natural foraging behaviour as well as using the barriers suggested here..
When selecting a Barrier - use this sizing guide to help you choose the right size for your bird.
