[غسان الاشقر]

I decided to sit down and write this message because
I just finished training one of our clients cockatoos who
was a bit of a feather picker.

This bird picked his feathers because his owner was
a smoker, and the smoke was irritating this birds
skin. So the bird was constantly trying to relieve
this irritation by picking his feathers.

So I told our client to just make one small change.


Buy a shower perch and give your bird a shower in
the morning 5-7 times a week. Well we didn't have
to wait that long to notice a difference. That very
same day, this bird cut down his feather picking by
about 75%, and just picks a little under his wings.

However....

Just because you might not smoke, doesn't mean that
some cologne, scented candle or a vast amount of
other products you use in your home won't irritate your
birds skin.

And if your bird is a feather plucker, and you have not
been giving him regular baths in the shower then give
it a try.

You can pick up a shower perch at your local pet store,
I like the ones that you can suction cup to the shower
wall.

هذه الرساله قد وصلتنى عن طريق الاميل من موقع يهتم بتدريب وتعليم الببغاوات.
ومضمون الرساله ان احد عملائم اتى لهم بطائره وكان يعانى من حاله نتف الريش وبعد التقصى والبحث وجدوا ان صاحبه مدخن وقد اثر التدخين على جلد الطائر مما اوصله الى حاله نتف الريش .
فما كان منهم الا ان عالجوا الطير بواسطه رشه بالماء يوميا من 5 الى سبع مرات فى الاسبوع وبعدها لاحظوا ان الطير تحسن بنسبه 75 % .
كما انهم ذكروا ان ليس التدخين فقط يسبب الحاله فان الادخنه المتصاعده من الشموع او الطبخ ربما تواثر على جلد الطائر .
وحتى لو كان طائرك لا يشكى من شى فيستحسن اعطاءه دش ماء خفيف يوميا.

اتمنى لكم ولطيوركم الصحه والعافيه
