BirdSupplies.com Hint:

Feather Protector deters your bird from picking it's chest. The Feather Protector does not stop your parrot's skin agitation, solve nutritional deficits or lower anxiety related feather plucking. You may need to explore with additional feather plucking remedies in order to treat feather plucking "causes" in addition to making it hard for habitual feather destructive parrots to access feathers.

Skin Irritation /Damage : If you've ever had mosquito bite, you remember that Band-Aids don't stop the itch but just make it more difficult to scratch. Your feather picking parrot may need a skin soothing agent like AviX Soother Spray for minor irritation or AviX Soother Ointment to address lesions.
Nutritional Deficits: Parrots with nutritional deficits or allergies experience skin irritation and itching, just as we do. Consider avian nutritional supplements like: AviVita Plus, Nekton Bio or Featheriffic.
Behavior / Compulsions: Likewise, if you've had a compulsive habit such as picking at nails or biting cheek skin, Band Aids don't stop the compulsion. AviCalm is an excellent, bird safe, homeopathic supplement to decrease anxiety and agitation.
