1-Thank you very much for finding the time to read m[y mail. I wish to ask whether or not the Amazon parrots tend to pluck their feathers like the african grey ones.
Another thing is : I got a new Congo African Grey. She sneezes but does this indicate anything that has to do with she having a bird flu virus? She is calm and I consider her somehow fat(is this possible ??) That is why I think when she sits on the perch her belly feathers are touching the perch. I got her yesterday. She gets out of cage alone but she is very afraid of me and she bites. She does not whistle that much and she is not noisy. I sawher flying yesterday when she got scared. She sneezes a lot now. She sits with somehow ruffled feathers. She goes into the cage to eat then she comes out again. Is this attitude normal? because I have to judge by all the appearance factors as I have no Vet her nearby...
Can anyone help me with this please..???!!
2- My Congo African Grey has bare parts under the wings, not noticeable unless you remove the wing and out apart the feathers some also are through the neck only obvious when the bird is twisting his neck for preening. As if the small cotton like feathers that cover the inside of the body under the feathers are not there. I dont think it is plucking, may it be molting or what do you think.
