鹦鹉的羽毛脱落是一种常见且令人沮丧的临床表现。原因包括有和没有明显的羽毛破坏行为的羽毛丢失的医学和非医学原因。根本原因包括不适当的饲养和住房；寄生虫、病毒和细菌感染；新陈代谢和过敏性疾病；以及行为障碍。在诊断出行为障碍之前，必须通过包括病史、体检和诊断性测试在内的全面医疗检查来排除导致羽毛脱落的医学原因。本文重点介绍了毛羽脱落和破坏行为的常见医学和非医学原因以及诊断和治疗方法。
Feather loss in psittacine birds is a common and frustrating clinical presentation. Causes include medical and nonmedical causes of feather loss with and without overt feather destructive behavior. Underlying causes include inappropriate husbandry and housing; parasitic, viral and bacterial infections; metabolic and allergic diseases; and behavioral disorders. Prior to a diagnosis of a behavioral disorder, medical causes of feather loss must be excluded through a complete medical work-up including history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. This article focuses on common medical and nonmedical causes of feather loss and feather destructive behavior and approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
