A friend of mine has a cream colored cockatiel. The bird is clean and well taken care of, she is nine years old and was locked in a closet for most of her life before my friend got her. (that last part probably isn't relevant)
Anyway, this bird is pecking and chewing on her chest feathers, and has created a small red (raw) spot on her skin.
I think she is loney, because my friend's wife moved out and took two other birds out of the home.
Is there some bird psychology going on here, or is chest pecking normal?
He is putting an antibiotic ointment on her at this time.
