Parrots, along with cats and dogs, have long taken their place in the hearts of many people, which is why they choose them as pets.

However, love for birds is not enough - you need to provide them with appropriate care and carefully monitor their health so that you do not have to part with your pet ahead of time.

But there is no need to sound the alarm in vain - it will not lead to anything good. So, if you notice that with the onset of autumn, the parrot's feathers began to fall out, there is no need to worry in vain: this is a completely natural process of molting, thanks to which the bird prepares for the new season.

In this way, the budgerigar gets rid of old and damaged feathers, which is undoubtedly beneficial for it.

But you can still help a bird that is changing its plumage.

The first step to take is to provide your parrot with a rich and varied diet that will provide it with the nutrients it needs.

In addition, provide your parrot with the opportunity to bathe by placing a bathtub in its cage.

If the bird has problems with scratching or getting rid of old feathers, unfortunately, you cannot do without consulting a specialist.
