If the parrot is suffering from any type of abrasion or cut then the thick Aloe Vera gel can be used in order to help to sooth.

A vet known as Dr Greg Harrison also believes Aloe Vera has positive effects as an application for parrot grazes, burns and lesions. He wrote about the benefits in his book called “avian medicine principles and application” for bird management. It is very important that the Aloe Vera is pure because alternatively, it can result in distress or even a sick bird. There are many sprays and products of Aloe Vera spray that are advertised to help prevent the plucking of feathers but these can contain harmful additives.

At the end of the day if you stay with natural ingredients then you will not risk the health of your parrot.
