My Quaker parrot is plucking feathers and acting sick. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, I have quaker which is almost 1 years old and lately this month he’s been acting strange, he started pucking his feathers daily and he stopped singing and he shows weak signs like having a hard time getting out of the cage and he started sleeping under his feather but that wasn’t happening until we noticed he’s taking of his feather and he started doing those type of thing so if you may please tell me what to do.

Thanks for reaching out about Coocoo and including a photo. Feather can be a physical ailment or psychological. Viral disease, bacterial skin diseases, liver or renal disease, external parasites are among a few of the possibilities. A veterinary visit is needed to provide a diagnostic and treatment plan. Check and correct diet, as some vitamin or protein deficiencies can add on to the feather picking problems. Good luck.
