Causes of parrots having fried feathers:

1. Normal phenomenon. When they are more relaxed or tired, they may explode their feathers.

2. Cold. When the cockatiel's hair explodes, its overall mental state is poor and it becomes lethargic. It may be that the body has lost its balance and is suffering from a cold.

3. Gastrointestinal diseases. The cockatiel's hair is fried, accompanied by diarrhea and trembling, which is probably due to gastrointestinal problems.

4. Infection with parasites. Parrots with ectoparasites can also cause their feathers to explode, and they will often peck their own feathers.

5. Temperature adjustment. Parrots blowing their feathers is also a way of self-regulating their temperature, which mainly occurs when the weather gets colder.

6. Being frightened. Sometimes when a parrot is frightened or angry, its hair will explode, just like when we are frightened, our hair will stand up.

7. Insufficient nutrition. When the body lacks vitamins and trace elements, fried hair and feather loss may also occur.
