Feather plucking in parakeets can be a sign of various issues, from nutritional deficiencies, parasites (like mites), skin infections, or underlying organ diseases, to behavioral problems like boredom, stress, or anxiety. It's not normal behavior when excessive. First, ensure proper nutrition, hygiene, and a stimulating environment. If plucking persists, a vet visit is essential to rule out medical causes. They may perform tests and suggest environmental enrichment or dietary adjustments.
