Sensitive Parrots

Boarding is tough on any parrot.  Their whole world changes and they are seeing a completely new flock all around them.Luckily most parrots quickly adapt and realize that the new surrondings are fun and the care is sincere and high caliber. 

When a boarder is prone to feather picking, I work hard to ease the stress and make any changes that might help.

Andres, this beautiful girl Umbrella Cockatoo, is boarding here for the first time.  She cages with her buddy, Delphis, a male Goffins Cockatoo.  They have been cage mates for many years.

Delphis is energetic and flies by the seat of his pants, so to speak.  But Andres is more sensitive and the new scenario threw her off at first. 

I found a toy that she adores.  The Avian Maze Craze Block from Mother Pluckin Bird Toys.  She daintily chips off a small piece of the block and then nibbles away at it.  She is now relaxed and improving daily with regard to her chest feathers.
