Is it okay to use Bitter Apple spray (usually used as a deterrent to biting dogs or cats) in an African Grey parrot?
Not stop pulling the breast feathers, my poor bird looks like a plucked chicken, all pink breast: (to be allowed to grow for a while then proceeds to boot to the last one. And yes, I've tried almost everything, including extra time and toys, reading about it, soaking it several times a week, "steam" it in the shower after my shower (who loves to sit in the steam), more or less everything but I can not get the GF to pay for it.
Take him to the vet to rule out problems liver (acute or chronic liver disease), which can be treated with lactulose compound with milk thistle extract. If blood tests come back as "normal" then you can try a homeopathic product called Pluck No More: Some of our members http://www.plucknomore.com/ (http://www.anafricangrey.ca/forum) have had good results from this product. Minimize the stress of a bird is suffering, but attempt to include in the activities you enjoy. Stress is the cause plucking standard. If you are not getting the attention he craves, if you get bored, if not challenge his toys if he is alone too often, so all these things can pluck stress itself. My best wishes to you and your birds.
