My bird's feathers aren't growing well. How can I help naturally?

Question

Is there any natural treatment for a nice feather growth? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 9 months and 1 day old

The most important factor in growing healthy feathers is to ensure your bird is eating a properly nutritious and balanced diet. Your bird should be eating mostly a pelleted diet (80% of the total diet) with occasional treats/snacks such as fresh fruits and veggies. Your bird should only get nuts and seeds very occasionally. Being relatviely stress free is also important to proper feather growth and grooming as well. Do your best to keep the bird’s enclosure clean and have plenty of toys for her for enrichment. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
