PLUCKING PREVENTION - SHOP

If you have a pet bird that is over-preening or plucking:

• remember to take him/her to your local Avian Vet to make sure that there isn't a clinical reason for the problem.  
• If you are looking for solutions to behavioural plucking due to boredom then you will need to look at a three part solution:
• PUT UP A BARRIER to prevent your bird reaching the over preened areas.  We can offer:
• Standard Feather Protectors (if plucking is mostly on the mid chest - does not offer poop control)
• Back Closure Feather Protectors (if plucking is on the mid to lower chest, upper chest and back and upper shoulders - does not offer poop control)
• Sturdie Birdies (if plucking is on the mid to lower chest, sides and back - offers poop control)
• Ponchos (if plucking is mostly on the shoulders - does not offer poop control)
• Noodles (if plucking is on the legs, chest, shoulders, back - does not offer poop control)
• Hoodies (if plucking is on the back of the neck, chest and shoulders - does not offer poop control)
• Snuggies (if plucking is on the back of the neck, chest and shoulders - does not offer poop control)
• INTRODUCE multiple preening toys into the environment like the Mopsy Preener, Preening rope, Preening pole or Preening doll.
• DISTRACT your bird by introducing PUZZLE TOYS to redirect brain activity in a more positive direction. Please pop into our PUZZLE TOY section - we have introductory, intermediate and advanced foragers and puzzle toys to stimulate natural foraging behaviour as well as using the barriers suggested here..

When selecting a Barrier - use this sizing guide to help you choose the right size for your bird.
