and i wondering whats up?

becasue way its going it will be plucked alive

plz help me asap

You need to remove the one that is doing the plucking into a cage of its own. Do you have a nest in the cage? Sometimes they do this for breeding materials.

I would move it immediately.

Please keep us posted.

there is no nest in the cage at the moment

once i remove it will the feathers grow back?worried as bugger because once i got it,it was wel lively and cherpd alot and did some calls as they do but now it does not do nothing just stands there

i have a cage with 4 birds in,3 perches and 2lots of mullet hanging down with food in there tubs what else is needed just a nest?

Chadz.....what size is your cage? Sometimes if the cage is way to small they birds can get agressive from not being able to get away from each other.

i have been told its a 2 pair cage

the length is 52cm and width is 31cm

here a pic of the cage and the bird thats in need of feathers




bath was on at time

I don't know who said that cage is suitable for two pairs...far too small, and asking for trouble.

I agree with Paul completely on this, that cage is certainly to small in my opinion
