Understand and Managing Parrot Over-Preening.

Over-Preening is a common behavioural issue seen in pet parrots. It’s when a bird starts grooming it’s feathers excessively - sometimes to the point of damaging them or even creating bald patches. While preening is a natural and healthy activity that keeps feathers in top condition, over-preening can be a sign that something isn’t right.
