PARROT STARTS PLUCKING BECAUSE HIS OWNER LEFT HIM – Grieving parrot


Boredom & Loneliness in parrots.
Boredom and loneliness are common causes of feather pulling in African grey parrots. Parrots in the wild spend most of their day busily foraging for food. When kept in captivity this is provided daily in a food bowl and no effort is required from the pet bird. Boredom can easily set in if toys are not supplied to provide entertainment and mental stimulation. Similarly, African grey parrots are naturally gregarious in the wild, foraging and roosting in large flocks. If left for long periods of time alone in a living room without a human or avian companion, loneliness can be a debilitating factor that causes an immense amount of stress to a parrot.
According to Hildergard Niemann, a parrot behavior consultant, parrots begin to play with their feathers, and as they pull out the first feather the hormone epinephrine is released to dull the pain. This hormone stimulates a good feeling in the parrot for a moment, and so the parrot pulls out another feather and the sensation of well-being is increased. The parrot eventually gets addicted to the stimulation generated by the hormone released when it pulls at its feathers and so, like any addiction, it soon becomes a habit that is very hard to break.
If you work all day, and have to leave your pet parrot alone for long periods of time, you may need to consider getting him or her a mate; not necessarily of the opposite sex, or even the same species. Besides keeping each other company while you are not there, parrots spend much time grooming — especially feathers on the head of their mates that they cannot reach themselves. This will occupy much of his time, alleviating both boredom and loneliness. If this is not an option, provide lots of stimulating toys, and consider leaving a radio on, and positioning your bird’s cage near a window so that he can look out on the world for more mental stimulation, taking care to avoid direct sunlight and drafts.
