Feather-picking and self-mutilation behaviors are common in psittacine birds. These behaviors are best defined as stereotypic behaviors or obsessive compulsive disorders.Feather-picking and self-mutilation patients are challenging to treat and are most likely to respond to treatment at an early stage of developmentThe best results are obtained by identifying and removing the cause of conflict, enhancing the environment, using appropriate drugs when indicated, and employing counter-conditioning.
