How do i know when my parrot is stressed???

Question

By the way he's a blue fronted amazon. He picks out his feathers, we are squirting him with water in the meantime. thanks

Answer 1

When our lovebird was pulling out its feathers, I heard that it could be sexually frustrated. Do with that what you will. Just wanted to throw in another possibility.

Answer 2

He may have an infestation or you may be stressing him out with the sprayer.  He may be bored/under stimulated/too confined.  He may just be molting and itchy.  Give the water sprayer a rest if stress is suspected.  Determine and remedy the cause.

Answer 3

It will complain to you : " Master, I'm stressed !"  

Answer 4

When he starts taking out a Marlboro pack and smokes them away...
