Need help with a budgie.?

Question

My pair of budgies wont stop plucking their feathers! They are driving me crazy and worried because they had never done it before. Why are they plucking them?

Answer 1

Either your poor little birds are molting or they're bored! Try finding them some new toys to play with. They also sell these toys you hang in their cage that they like to pluck instead of their feathers...:O

Answer 2

The answers may be tenfold and someone has answered this in part as well. But if they have just started doing this it is not unreasinable to suggest that they may have contracted bird mite.
These are like fleas only smaller.
If you can catch your birds look under the wings in the downy feathers for little black/red spots sticking to the feathers or moving about. They can be treated with a dusting powder.

But failing the finding of mite then boredom is the true answer.

Moulting, heat stress, dietry, infestations, etc etc
