Re: hole in chest from plucking, help
We honestly cannot tell you advice unless these are met:
Size of cage they are in?
Are they housed together?
How much attention they get?
Full spectrum lighting?
How much out of cage time?
How many toys, what kind?
My Umbies have about 30 toys in their cage, and they are in a GIANT double macaw cage, 80"long, 6ft tall and 40" wide. And they're only in there5-6 hours a day. My Scarlet macaw is in a double macaw cage 72'' height, by 64'' length, by 32'' depth, and she hasabout 16 toys, a boing and a rope twirl perch and several perches as do my umbies. Our mollucan has a petite cage of 36x28x60" PLAYtop cage and she is out ALL day long and has 16toys to chew and play with. Our quakers are in a flight cage thats 30"long and 21" wide dome top of 35" and they have about 12 toys each, two wuakers share the cage.
When and if they are ever out of the cage are they just on top of the cage? What about playstands, and things to motivate their mental abilities and physic?
Pluck no more will not help if any of these is the problem. It only helps stop habitual problems, not behavior and environmental problems.
