(1) the cause of self-biting feather disease of thrushes: the main causes of self-feathering of thrushes: ① thrushes are very clean birds, most of them love to take a bath (also known as bath), if they do not bathe the thrush regularly or often, do not often clean the sand grains in the sand table, do not often wash the birdcage and cover cloth, and because the overcast and rainy weather is too long, it will cause the thrush to breed lice or mites. Lice and mites parasitic on the surface of the thrush bird, the entire skin will be affected, making the bird skin itching and bleeding. The thrush has no choice but to bite the feather to stop itching and bite the feather "out of breath" to the lice and mites on the body. Because the thrush has been imprisoned in a cage for a long time, or has been given the cold shoulder by people for a long time, ② is so lonely that he has to bite his feathers to protest to his owner. Feeding a thrush not only appreciates its fighting, but also its beautiful feathers, bald or dishevelled feathers are really not beautiful, how to start its viewing? some thrushes in ③ bite their feathers because bird breeders feed feed ingredients such as grass fruit and star anise. The self-feathering phenomenon of some thrushes in ④ is due to the lack of certain trace elements in the diet for a long time.

(3) the prevention and treatment of thrush self-biting feather disease: once the thrush bird has self-biting feather disease, it is necessary to carefully analyze the causes and deal with the symptoms. For example, ① bathes the thrush on time and regularly cleans the birdcage, sand table and cloth. Once it is found that birds breed lice or mites, the method of internal and external treatment should be taken immediately. Insecticides such as parachlor can be used to spray bird cages, sand tables and covers to remove external mites; bathe the thrush with disinfectant or boiled water with the stem of local tobacco to remove lice and mites from the body. The concentration of stem water of local tobacco can be adjusted as appropriate, and you can take a bath for 2 or 3 times. If the skin of the thrush bird is red, swollen and inflamed, pound it into powder with Zilin or Yinqiao tablet (powder), put it in a human water cup and let the bird drink for 3 days to relieve inflammation and pain. If ② is due to self-feathering caused by the neglect of thrushes, it should take time to amuse the birds and keep walking them every day, so as to give the birds a chance to go outdoors or in nature to relieve loneliness. ③ analyzes the feed eaten by thrushes recently to see if it is possible to lack certain trace elements or feed some foods such as grass and fruit. If there is no breeding of lice or mites, and insists on walking the bird, it must be the problem of feed. The feed formula should be modified or other feed should be changed in time.
