we’ve had parrots of all sizes and shapes growing up. The most important three things foe good birb health is natural sunlight (they will get neurotic and pluck without vitamin D synthesis, and you can’t get this just by the window, through glass), social interaction and stimulation and a healthy diet (not just seeds!). Of course, they also need a regular routine (like do better when you cover them at night, which also helps to reduce draft, which contributes to respiratory illnesses birbs are more susceptible to) and wake them up at the same time every day, along with fresh water daily, nice luke warm showers and lots of love. They are prey animals and feel safer in a flock, so having more than one bird is better for them. ❤
I don't know anything about Birds, and was curious as to why pet Birds would need a collar. When I saw that it was for plucking my first instinct was that something is wrong. Thanks for explaining.
Well done on making collars for your Sweet Pea. I used to make jackets for my Bilbo - a moluccan cockatoo aged 28. I say used to...Bilbo passed away yesterday (Monday 26 June) when we had taken him to the vet for an urgent review. A sort of swelling appeared in his tummy area - like an air sac rupture and his breathing was hitching. Sadly, the anaesthetic caused him to crash and despite our amazing vets doing all they could, our darling Bilbo could not be saved. We adopted our Bilbo nearly 20 years ago when he was 9 and he was our joy and love. My DH and I are heart broken and devastated. Give your Sweet Pea a hug from me. Hold her close.
You gave Bilbo a great life, remember that! Of coarse they make such an impact on our lives that there is a giant hole in your life! This part of having a pet makes it so hard to think of rescuing another. My heart hurts for you guys. May your journey in the furtive hurt a little less each day. ❤
Big hugs!! Lost my rescue Conjure 2 yrs.nest month😢😢😢 Thank about her all the time n swear I hear her OFTEN? It always stops me in my tracks. I rescued her when she was 8 n had her 21 yrs.❤❤❤❤
HI, I have just subscribed, I love how you have rescued Sweet Pea and given her a forever home. Sweet Pea is beautiful. How often do you post videos please? Best wishes. Helen
That's great! Unfortunately my Kiwi would completely destroy one of those so we had to use a hard collar. Tho I used to make her halter tops to wear since she was a picker and her chest was featherless.
I believe that 2 things are the most common causes of plucking: 1= anxiety. They can get it from other pets, lack of attention, loud noises, or not having a "bedroom" area to sleep feeling safe. I always made a wooden box but with a perch instead of a bottom, and one side open but facing a wall to go in & out . #2= is bathing, birds need to bathe! Even if its from a squirt bottle (warm water) or a large bin with a couple inches of warm water, depending on size of bird, just make water up to top of legs, and put in an area that you don't mind water getting splashed everywhere 😂 Enjoy the show!
Thanks :) I'm still curious what materials you use, especially the white material in the washing machine person video shorts, cause that looks & sounds like a sort of paper, that I think my bird might tollerate. I have a little plucker who can't handle touching, so I haven't really done a collar on her yet, but want to try. I have a little collar from the vet that I've used on her when trimming her nails, it has a velcro strip on it for neck adjustment, but I like the idea of a paper type one that would be eaten off over time instead of having to re-handle to remove if possible. Another tip I have too from mine is decorations on them. My vet collar has a cute little bow on it, that I thought was designed for the humans, but it seems it was actually designed for the pluckers, as biting at the little bow occupies her & helps her handle having a collar on, so that might be something you can add to your home made ones, any sort of bird safe bits to give something to play with in the place of plucking when they try to pluck & collar's blocking it
Me three. Is the answer so they don't pluck out feathers? If yes, that's common sense. If no, what kind of sick is Sweet Pea? I don't like it when people post mysteries then either don't tell the answer or drag out telling the answer so their followers will keep watching. I watch because I like Sweet Pea. I don't watch videos that are tricks to keep me watching no matter how much I like the content. I won't be watching Sweet Pea anymore I'm sad to say.
Very cool. Not sure I would use this on my chickens but then again... if one was injured and separated from the others, this might do the job if they were having feather issues, etc.
Did you call it a saucer?! O my, I didn't know anyone called it that, other than me lol,😁 I make saucers, as well as 'suits' I make from leftover fabric, and clothes too worn to wear . Too cute., thanks for sharing!
Birds that pluch their feathers are stressed, depressed or not happy. Instead of putting a collar figure out why bird is unhappy make good changes for birdy.
My thought exactly, sweet pea is clearly lonely and stressed, but the owner does nothing to help her with that. Internet clout clearly means more than an animals safety. 😡
It's not always that easy. We have 4 parrots (all adopted or rescued): three cockatoos and a chestnut fronted macaw. Each one has been part of our family for at least 15 years, they all get the same attention, socialization, interaction, diet, exercise and environment but only one of them plucks his chest feathers. Sometimes they just carry anxiety despite being in a happy home.
@@genekoesling maby he is stressed because there is to many birds or humans in the household. I would be stressed if I lived in a house with so many people. One does not just carry anxiety, anxiety stems from something. I know you love your birds but if he is syressed you need to figure out why. You dont get to decide what happy means for him. Maby he dont like the company or the kind of food. Etc...maby hes more sensetive to noise he could ba an "autsiric bird" etc. If you wont find whats causing it...maby you need ro rehome him? I know you love him but if the place he lives makes him stressed is it really fair?
@@Shadowthevampire This video is over a year old and Sweet Pea has improved a lot since this was posted! Wendy has been continuously working on this issue with veterinarians and bird experts for well over a year, pretty much as soon she adopted Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea came from a very bad situation, and she was already plucking for a long time before Wendy had her. If you watch and compare the early footage of Sweet Pea and see her now in shorts, the difference is insane. She looks so much healthier and happier and her vet recently said she was doing really well. As the audience, we see only the smallest fraction of how much work, care, effort, love and time Wendy has put into helping Sweet Pea heal. I have over 15 years of experience in dealing with Cockatiels and Cockatoos, so I’m comfortable saying that Sweet Pea’s plucking was severe and she wouldn’t have improved the way she has without a TON of dedication, work, care, time, learning, luck and love to her recovery. Plucking behavior already usually takes a while to resolve (sometimes it never resolves) but especially when it’s as severe as Sweet Pea’s was. I agree completely that you can’t just put a collar on a plucking bird without addressing the core problem, but that isn’t what’s happening here. I can tell you mean well and you clearly care about and love animals, but you’ve made some hurtful and inaccurate assumptions about Wendy’s care of Sweet Pea and the person who commented above you. In Sweet Pea’s case, if you had watched more recent shorts you’d have known that she’s doing so well right now. Respectfully, please do not give advice when you don’t know enough about the subject. Sometimes, just like people, birds *are* just more prone to anxious behaviors than others. To address your comment about the collar - this is what we do *WHILE* we address the cause of the problem. We do it to prevent more plucking and injuries so they can heal physically while we figure out and treat what’s going on mentally.
I wish more parrot owners did videos on Discourage their birds from mast**bation behavior using distraction and redirection. Physical hugging or scratching around the head is acceptable, but scratching, stroking or petting your bird around the BACK, rump, and hind end may cause se**al stimulation. Redirect your bird's attention towards other toys and healthy interactive play with you, or others. Foraging treats or toys are a great way to help with this. If you cannot distract or redirect your bird, then quietly return him to his cage or play gym.
It would be a very important video mainly because a bird can become violent to humans and other birds during the hormonal season. The violence has everything to do with how you are touching them until you are reacting to them when they are going through this really tough time in their little lives. If you continue to pet their back, and they're colloquial or around those areas. They will single you out as their mate and will hurt anyone that comes near you. It may not be happening now but if people continue to do this with their parrot? You can bet that it will become an issue.
درود بر شما 😅 کاکادو یا همان طوطی شما از حدود ۳یا ۴ سالگی احتیاج به جفت یا پرنده ای مثل خودش دقیقا جنس مخالف دارد تا پر های خود نخورد اگر برایش جفت تهیه کنید حتما دیگر پرهای خود را نمی جود در ضمن احتمال زیاد پرنده شما دختر یا ماده می باشد چون این بیماری پر کنی در پرنده های دختر بیشتر دیده میشود زیرا آنها حساستر هستند و کمتر صحبت میکنند زود افسرده می شوند 🎉🎉 موفق باشید و خوشحال
WHY the bird pulls feathers is far more important than just "fixing" the issue. I am disappointed in you as a bird owner. I understand all birds are different, but if your bird is so stressed you need to make a collar, i question your involvement in enrichment.
If you think this woman hasn’t done anything to get to the root of her birds plucking, you clearly haven’t watched any other videos/shorts. There are MANY about it.

Sharing with a vet tech friend of mine. Thanks for the simple how-to!
She is so beautiful so is the bird. 🇸🇪
Clicked on this to figure out why birds are wearing collars like Shakespeare.
Me too. ❤❤❤

Hmm why wouldn't you use this on your birdies?? What's wrong with it??
Hi, from my own experience i tried high dose of probiotic for my parrots situation ''plucking'' . And it does does help. 😇
Would love to know more please
Your comment does not contain enough information. What do you mean by probiotic? What are its ingredients?
Oooooh THAT'S what the bib is for!
Thank you! What kind of fabric did you use, and how did you know how big to make her neck hole?
Looks like she's using a big piece of felt material
Looks like she just did trial and error for the hole! Cut a small hole then take a look at your birds neck :)
thanks :) I was wondering the same things
Did you call it a saucer?! O my, I didn't know anyone called it that, other than me lol,😁
I make saucers, as well as 'suits' I make from leftover fabric, and clothes too worn to wear .
Too cute., thanks for sharing!

Of course you couldn't do a voice over without added commentary 😂😂
I know. From all of them lol!
@@theparrotlady 🤭🤭 every time SP can be heard back there grumbling I cracked up a little.
What stuff are you using to make saucer
Will this work, for my cockatiel, he chewing him self up on his back
But why do you need a collar for her..?
A plumagem do peito, se a ave começa a arrancar muito, é interessante tratar o estresse do animal, ou protegê-lo como ela está fazendo com o colar
How many days to keep wearing it?
Boring 😄. I know the feeling Sweet Pea ❤️🙂👍✅💯
My parrot would work on that collar and destroy it within one day
Oooooh! I thought she was wearing it because it made her feel pretty. 🤦🏽♀️
is that like a lamp shade?
Hello, thank you for the tutorial ❤️ what type of Cloth do you use?
It looks like she used felt material
You should try a vest....more freedom of movement

My yellow fronted amazon just started plucking...ive had him for 30 years!! Can anyone tell me why it would just start like this!!
Hi, can i get an email address
I need a solution for an urgent matter.
