I tried the fringgy color from Diane at and, try though I might Jasmine would not take it. I could not touch her before without getting a severe bite. Her temper had changed, and she is much easier to handle. But she has removed her preen gland and the root bulbs of her tail feathers and she will never grow a full tail again.īut she is a different bird now. Her feathers are coming back, and the terrible deep wound that was her tail is healing now, It has closed up to a slit. Here is the update we got from him telling us that our new dosing was working:įor the last three weeks I gave every evening four to five drops in a teaspoon in her favorite baby food and the results are amazing. It will be hard for us to see her die, tearing her flesh out. (She used to preen, but seven years ago she began to rip out her feathers than to preen them.) I have searched the Internet to see if others have had Goffins that go to mutilation of their tails to the point of tearing out the flesh, ripping out the preening gland. We have taken her to the Vet many times and everything, every medication that they gave us has been to no avail. If she digs deeper to the bone she is gone as bird. She has just over the last couple days ripped out the preening gland completely… Gone, completely gone… And her wound is very deep. Not only has she completely destroyed the ability to grow new tail feathers she has gone farther to rip out the flesh of her tail. This has been a problem for the last seven years, but as of the last 3 years it has taken a very bad turn. Jasmine would scream out when she ripped them out by the roots. Then she began to pick her tail feathers out to the point of ripping emerging tail feathers, and bleeding all over the cage and outside when we, my wife and I had her out. Then about three years later she began to feather pick and even do mutilation of her legs where she would bleed. We have had her for just over ten years, and back then when we got her she was full feathered, and flew around inside our home. I have attached some photos of my poor Goffin.
