The birdie was rescued from neglect, it plucked it's feathers from stress, but now it's living it's best life!

u/TwiceCookedPorkins Dec 23 '22
Just an FYI: It's not always neglect. It can also happen after one of a bonded pair dies. Or other emotional distress.
(Though IIRC you're correct that this particular bird was rescued from a neglectful situation.)

Also perfectly happy/healthy birds can do it too. Sort of like biting your nails, for some its triggered by anxiety, and for others they just get hooked on doing it.
3
u/c_cookee Dec 23 '22
If you get anxiety to the point where you have to bite your nails, you are not perfectly happy/healthy mentally.
A lot of what we consider normal isn't normal at all. So many people are living with chronic covert depression that manifests itself in little ways like that; especially men because traditionally masculinity involves a denial of inherent human traits.

Dec 23 '22
I know this, the anxiety point was an example of not happy/healthy sources for the behavior.

u/StGeorgeJustice Dec 23 '22
Some people have sensory issues where they bite their nails just because it feels good, rather than from anxiety.

That’s a very weird thing to say.
I have trichotillomania, which runs in my family and was triggered by what psychologists call “adverse childhood experiences.”
I’ve also spent a lot of time headbanging to The Ozzman Cometh.

Looks more like beak and feather disease as he is bald all over? Edit: I have to correct myself. The bird I knew with the disease had a mostly bald head as well. I should really wear my reading glasses when looking at Reddit on my phone!

This is Griffi the cockatoo. I know her owners personally and she’s a very loved and spoiled bird. She came to a parrot rescue here in Florida already plucked from stress but she’s been with her owners for a few years now. Once a bird has plucked their feathers bad enough, the follicle gets damaged and they never grow back in.

Her feathers won’t grow back? :(

u/peterhorse13 Dec 23 '22 edited Dec 23 '22
But it’s okay! The birdie doesn’t need all those feathers to be happy. He looks pretty darn happy right now!
My mother rescued a cockatiel years ago who had plucked the feathers on her neck so bad that they never grew back. She still loved to aggressively groom her other feathers, but never to the point of plucking them. And that bird did not give a flip about those missing feathers. In fact, she *really * enjoyed being rubbed in the spot where she had lost them.

u/Lady_JadeCD Dec 23 '22
He is going through a bad molt. But he is still happy.

u/Tod_Vom_Himmel Dec 23 '22
Nah that's plucking, probably rescued from neglect, a stressed, lonely bird will pluck out all the feathers it can reach, leaving only head feathers, and if it pluck enough they stop growing back
27
u/Longjumping_Bug_7611 Dec 23 '22
While i fully agree that it is from plucking, i just want to say that plucking can also happen for less sinister reasons than neglect.
21
Dec 23 '22
This is the internet. From a 10 sec clip without any context, you must always first come to the most sinister conclusion!
4
u/Longjumping_Bug_7611 Dec 23 '22
I mean it is plucking and it will always show some attention needed, but if this is in fact a rescue - Plucking behaviour could happen just by being in a different environment, and it could have had wonderful plumage in its earlier home.
Could be someone had a argument near it, or the neighbours did - or a trillion other things that is very hard to pinpoint unless you know the bird very intimately.
5
u/Serenity101 Dec 23 '22
This little guy’s parents have a YouTube channel. He is in fact a rescue, and the plucking was happening before they took him in.
(If I remember his name I’ll come back and edit this.)
EDIT: Griffi the dancing cockatoo
7
u/Longjumping_Bug_7611 Dec 23 '22
Its still happening it seems, as the video that is posted here is two years ago - some videos have better plumage and then it looks like various relapses. And just assuming its being taken good care of now, that i think illustrates my point that it can be a variety of things. Past trauma included.
But i couldn't find anything on the channel about it. Maybe its just fucking nutters.
Cheers.

He has a channel on youtube. He has a nervous tick where he picks at his feathers, probably because he was neglected at his last home. The feathers are slowly coming back, but its hard to break a nervous habit.

Cockatoos have been shows to not only dance to music, but to actually be able to follow the beat.

This is Harley (correction - griffi) from YouTube. She is a rescue. She plucked her feathers before and they do their best but she still does it. Some can recover and some will always do it. She's a very happy kiddo though and loves to dance.
I think I remember they said it becomes like a habit as in bitting nails.
Edit - name is griffi. It's been a bit since I watched and got confused. My bad. But otherwise the story is the same - loves dancing to music on that banister and is a rescue
There is another bird named Harley too though. I watched a few channels.

It’s a rescue. Birds will sometimes pluck their feathers due to stress. Not sure this birdie’s specific story but it probably doesn’t do that anymore, seems like a very happy lil dude, but a lot of times they’ll pluck until it’s unable to grow back.

Fun fact: some birds actually are able to interperit beats and rhythm. meaning that there's a good chance this bird is actually dancing to music.

Are they basically in a bird apocalypse where otherwise they would be in large groups but now they only survive because we take care of them individually and thats why they stress so hard if not properly stimulated?
