Traditionally the seeds are ground and boiled with water. The oil floats to the top and is skimmed off. This would be most suitable for home production. I believe that commercial production involves grinding and pressing the seeds as a cake.

If you mean a yellow-headed Amazon, then your parrot has not been receiving the right nutrition. But there are many, many reasons for a large parrot to pull out the feathers; insufficient nutrition, too much noise in the home, too small cage, not enough interaction with people, etc. As far as nutrition is concerned, please get copies of, or go on the website, for Bird Talk. There are many articles on proper nutrition for parrots. And wild bird seed does not have enough variety, quantity, or quality of nutrition. Your bird needs fresh fruit (such as bananas, apples, berries), vegetables (squash, carrots, celery), and some good-quality sunflower seeds as well as large nuts such as almonds, hazel nuts, etc. If your bird is an Amazon, he could live for many decades with proper care and be a good friend/companion for you for a very long time. Please research all you can on your bird's needs--sunflower seeds are most likely not his only problem that would have him pull out his feathers.

don't bother!!!! just buy it, it's cheap. To make a litre of sunflower oil, you'd need about a ton of seeds. Think of the mess as well.

With difficulty. You would need a press or possibly a food mixer .

usually it's done in the factory. It's hard to make in home conditions.
