Hello again from cookie,well its been a little while since i was started on this new treatment to stop me from plucking and i have to say i am getting some new feathers!!
Yes cookie is doing well and i think we may have cracked it,i found a remedy from northern parrots and thaught i would give it a try.Its called PLUCK NO MORE,NATURAL HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY-177ml it does cost £34-99 and depending on how severe the plucking is can take a few months,you put some in the drinking water and some with water in a spray bottle and spray the bird up to four times a day and let them dry naturaly,but while you are giving this treatment you dont give the bird any fresh fruit or veg.
I have just used the last of my first bottle and judging by cookies new growth i hope we will need only one more bottle,he does feel so soft and is not scratching as much as he did when he first came to me,i also give poppy and spike the odd spray and they quite like it.
It is also good for dogs would you beleive?.
I do hope this information does help any of you who are in the same situation,
Will try and add up some photos
Luv cookie and Angela.
hello from cookie and angela,well i have to say i am realy pleased to tell you that cookie has grown back most of his feathers,even though it has been expensive it has realy been worth it.also cookie has now started to bond with me and loves his tickles and like poppy he asks for tickle tickle,i tried him with palm oil on brown toast when he first came to me but he wouldnt touch it,but over the last two weeks he has tried it and now he loves it.the mash on the other hand is not going very well,both cookie and poppy will not eat it so i will give it a few weeks and try it again,i do give them a wide range of fruit and vege so am not too bothered.they are happy and very chatty,they do have a sparring match when they are out together,nothing serious and i had to laugh the other day,when i looked over to cookie he was just standing there looking down at something and as i went over,there was poppy in his cage sitting on cookies fav pearch quite happy.usualy they are both very protective of their own cages,so as time goes by i realy hope they will become friends.must go now,love from cookie poppy and angela.xxx
