Wow this is quite a collection of good videos about parrots. poor jaared probably like get the hell away from me!!!! lol just makin a little joke im not trying to be mean.
Hi, I am Choozyums and Choozylady, so I can answer. Actually Jaared is Not skinny. I have a birdie scale and weigh him, I will weigh him again tommorrow and post it. All birds would look strange or skinny without their feathers, but he is healthy and he has a good appitite. Nobody can say exactly why. I think its a nervous habit that started as an allegic reation the 2nd time he got the polymalvirus vaccination. That is my theory and he just won't stop.....
u always get 1 no nothing dont u, he looks perfactly healthy to me, i actualy work in a zoo an iv seen alot worse cases come into us via the RSPCA where theyhave been starved an plucked through stress, sometimes when they start it never stops, im not sure how big he is but i had a rescue grey an he was pluckin, i put a prem baby grow on him to break the habbit an it worked, he with a friend now an not done it since, might be worth a shot if its habbit not medical
I weighed Jaared twice on Monday, 6/22/09. He weighed 451 kg before he ate and then he weighed 466 before I put him to bed. Birds fluctuate in weight over the course of each day. A parrots crop in located rt. below his neck and above the chest area.. I can always tell when Jaared has a full crop, just by looking at it. He is doing fine.
He's had blood test done and everything. I think it's like a nervous habit, now. It started about 7 years ago when he had a vaccination & he started plucking the area around the injection of the vaccination. His clutchmate (sister) died from a birdie disease called polmalvirus so we had them all vaccinated 2 X. First one, then at the Vet's urging, a follow-up. The follow-up shot is when he started to pluck. Even his lega are bare. We later found out that we really didn't have to get the shots!
Wow, it's still such a sight to look, seeing Jaared there w/ no feathers. Nothing much is going on for Jaared but I can see that Kee-kee's right there being a good bird just lounging in her cage, she's waiting for that "good bird" call. It's good to know that you have the chance to take such special care of Jaared.
lmao he looks very irritated
