My parrot is losing feathers and feeling cold. What should I do?

Question

My bird (parrot) was suffering with loss of feathers severely. Due this she feeling cold. Consulted a local government doctor about this they had given a powder by searching in Google ask us to feed her by mixing in the food. A week was over but no improvement I can share pics if required. Previously I had used an lotion called pet glow but currently it was unavailable in the market. It cured my previous pets very nice.

Thanks for reaching out about Bangaram and including a photo. Psittacine Feather Destructive Behavior is common in parrots, but the difficulty is acquiring a cause. Stress/behavior is common a nd can consist of breeding, nutritional or environmental stressors. Diseases can also lead to pulling feathers including infectious diseases (viral, bacterial), metabolic disorders (liver, renal), skin diseases and others. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and try to determine a cause. Diet and husbandry practices need to be reviewed with a veterinarian experienced with birds. Some diagnostic tests will probably be recommended and necessary to come to a conclusion. There is no topical medication that is going to cure or even stabilize this condition. Good luck.
