treating and preventing feather picking

             Feather picking is very common in parrots. Some parakeets too indulge in this activity. FEATHER PICKING, as most of us think is not a disease at all!!! Its just a HABIT. Yes, and what do you think paves way for this habit??? :O
             The main and most probable (only) cause of this habit is LONELINESS and BOREDOM. A bird who is lonely naturally tends to pick its feathers. It starts this way and may result in self injuries in a course of time. 
REMEDIES: 
*Spend some time with them, that's the important thing.
*Divert them by supplyin them with other substitutes (mop heads).
In the picture given below the bird was provided with an alternative and now has come out of this habit.

                     As we all know pets are our companions and so are we to them. But, not all of us think this way. Everyone loves to buy or adopt a pet may it be a bird or a dog or a cat or whatever it is... initially we are excited with the new comer but the fascination towards our pet decreases day by day. We all have a busy schedule, loads of work pressure blah blah blah!!! But what about our pets? Those little companions? Do they too have a busy schedule like that of ours??? :O
              Well, let me put it this way, we mean the World to them, and its obviously our responsibility to take good care of them. We should spend some time with them too. Its true that we are all busy with our work but spending some time for our loved ones is indeed necessary. So if you can't spare some of your valuble time for them never go in for such a big responsibility of owning a pet!!!
              So I hope that the readers will surely spare some time with their pets from now on! :)
              Have a great day!!!! ;-) XD
