African grey parrots frequently suffer from calcium deficiency. An avian veterinarian can perform a blood test to measure your African grey’s calcium levels. Almonds and broccoli are good sources of calcium for your bird. Use calcium supplements only on the advice of your avian veterinarian. Feather picking in African greys may be linked to a deficiency of the amino acid arginine, and the presence of red feathers where gray ones would normally appear may be due to a deficiency of lysine. Improving your African grey’s overall nutrition may alleviate both conditions.
非洲灰鸚鵡經常缺鈣。獸醫可以用驗血來衡量你灰鸚的鈣水平。杏仁和西蘭花都可成為你的鳥的鈣主要來源。在您獸醫的建議下才使用鈣補充劑。缺乏氨基酸精氨酸可能導致拔毛，而紅色羽毛的出現可能因為缺乏賴氨酸。提高您灰鸚的整體營養可能會減輕這兩個情況的出現。
