I live in Toronto Where can I buy a cone to put on my parrot so hell stop plucking the he** out of h2007-11-24 17:22:22Answers:

Just putting on a "Cone", more well known as a Collar isn't going to stop your parrot from plucking unless you plan to leave it on for the rest of his life. It's uncomfortable for the bird and cumbersome.

Here is a link to read up on plucking, written by Judy Leach. It's an excellent article and will give you some insight into what you are dealing with.

I also answered this question a while back in response to someone else who has the same issues. Here's the link:

Read the articles in the links.this might help you make some adjustments that will relieve the plucking.

There is also a product put out by King's Cages called

"Pluck No More". It is a natural remedy that seems to relieve some of the distress. It's expensive and you have to follow the directions precisely, but I have seen results from it from several birds. Here's the link:

Cones are too easy to shred. Try a sweater or T-shirt. Look here: www.drsfosterandsmith.com

They have everything for pets.

This is a common problem in caged birds with a psychological source. Birds do this when they are frustrated. They need time to be out of the cage, they need stimulation in the form of toys and human interaction, and perhaps even a bird friend for companionship.
