I have a 2 yr old parrottlet. He was sharing a cage with another parrottlet. The other started picking on him. So I took him out and put him in another cage. He is still looking rough. Is there anything that I can spray on him that will keep him from picking. I was thinking that it was mites But the other bird looks great. And I have 4 others that are doing find.

Hope someone can help me out Karen

Poor little fella! Is he picking or is that the result of the other parrotlet picking at him? If he's not doing the damage then he should eventually grow his feathers back in - if he IS doing the picking you might just want to make sure that he's getting plenty of showers and above all a good diet with lots of fresh foods. There are products sold to prevent picking - not sure they're terribly effective and they usually miss the whole cause of the behavior. Let us know how he does - I bet he's beautiful when he gets all those blue feathers back in!
