How can you tell the difference between scratching and plucking in parakeets? Other Pet Discussions
I have a young male blue parakeet, I spend time with him both inside and outside of his cage everyday, his cage is constantly clean, he gets a bath once a week, and his food and water is changed daily. Today, he looked like he was scratching himself but a few little feathers came out, he's been doing this every now and then since he started today, was he just scratching, or is this the beginning of "plucking"?
