If the environment for raising parrots is relatively small or not comfortable enough, it is easy to cause various diseases of parrots, such as feather pecking. Feather pecking is a relatively common disease in parrots, and many breeders don’t pay enough attention to parrots when they first suffer from feather pecking, thinking that parrots will get better in a few days. But in fact, if the breeder does not intervene in the parrot feather pecking in time, the parrot feather pecking phenomenon will become more and more frequent, eventually causing the parrot to peck off its own hair, and may even die from this disease. So it is very important to give the parrot a suitable space and a comfortable environment. And once it is found that the parrot has the symptoms of feather pecking, it must be intervened in time to prevent the parrot from getting worse.

However, the office workers are not willing to do this, and they are usually busy with work, and there is no way to meet these social needs of parrots. In this case, parrots are also prone to feather pecking. However, if there are two parrots in the house, the parrots have a companion with each other, which can improve the situation to a certain extent. But if two parrots are kept in a closed environment for a long time and cannot go out for fresh air for a long time, it may cause both birds to suffer from feather pecking.
3. The breeding environment is too monotonous
Parrots have relatively high requirements for the breeding environment. They do not like the noisy and closed living environment, and hate the more monotonous breeding environment. If you live in such an environment for a long time, parrots will easily suffer from depression and feather pecking, both of which are harmful to parrots. Therefore, for the health of the parrot, the breeder should pay attention to providing a more comfortable breeding environment for the parrot, and arrange more entertainment measures in the bird cage where the parrot is raised, and provide more toys to increase the fun of the parrot.
The above situations are very easy to cause the parrot to suffer from depression or feather pecking. It can be said that the parrot is relatively fragile. If the office worker works If you are busy and cannot take good care of the parrot, it is best not to keep it, so as not to cause the parrot to get sick because of boredom and boredom.
