| 中文描述 | 雖然大部分的鳥禽類之拔羽毛發生在生病的禽類中，經由治療便可以改善，但是心理性的鳥禽類拔羽毛也可能發生。羽毛損失的區域大多限制在胸部、大腿、翅膀、脅腹的地方。皮膚通常但是不一定都是正常的，搔癢症的鳥通常出現活動過度和愛跳動的現象，但是大部分啄羽毛的都不是搔癢症的感染者。 |
| 英文描述 | Although most feather picking occurs in birds with diseases and stops when the underlying disease is treated, psychogenic feather picking can occur. The area of feather loss is often confined to the countour feathers of the breast, thighs, wings and flank area. Down and pin feathers are often involved. The skin is usually, but not always, normal. Pruritic birds often appear hyperactive and jumpy, and most feather pickers are not pruritic. |
