I am new to this newsgroup and trying desperately to find an answer
to my question.
I have recently bought two cockatiels, a male and a female.
For some weeks ago the male bird started feather picking the
female, starting on the back of her head - and now already picking
on her back leaving her looking quite weird with unfeathered areas.

I think the food I am giving to my birds is OK, so this behavior
is not caused by a lack of any mineral/vitamin.

My question then is: is this kind of behavior normal? If not,
then what should I do?

My birds have a large cage, and I
let them fly every day in my apartment.

      Desperately looking for help!

Its normal but can be deadly, I have a Cockatiel as well as well as a
finch.
I used to have several finches but a dominant male picked the other two
females
to death. you may think about seperating them. Ask you local pet store
owner
or a Vet. Good Luck!!

You might want to access the Rec.Pets.Birds newsgroup which is for owners
and/or breeders of exotic birds.  Many of the subscribers have cockatiels and
may be able to answer your question in more detail.

We have one cockatiel so haven't experienced that particular problem. I
can tell you that when I was a kid I raised a group of six pheasants
whose mother had been killed and as they grew to be adolescents several
of them began to suffer from having their necks and backs pecked bare. I
went to a nearby turkey farm and was told this is a constant problem
among turkeys and chickens -- just something they do to each other. The
solution in that case was a jar of dark red paste that was incredibly
foul-smelling; after smearing it on the victimized birds they were left
alone. Perhaps pet shops sell something similar for cockatiels? Maybe in
the intervening years they've found a way to retain the protective
properties while improving the smell. Good luck!
