Health & WellbeingI have a cocktiel and she gets agitated or has anxious and stat picking her under wing till it bleeds. I have cream from a vet that I do use, but I don't know else to do.
Trying to alleviate the cause of Daisy's stress may help. If she's in an area with a lot of noise or foot traffic, moving her to a calm, quiet room may help. Making sure she isn't being harassed by other people or pets, and that she has access to food, water, and perch space if she's housed with other birds can help. Toys that encourage chewing, preening or activity can also help alleviate boredom and redirect the chewing behavior to those instead of herself.
