What started the feather plucking?
We went to the vet 4 months ago when we realized our attempts to stop him plucking were not working. The vet inspected him and checked him for mites and feather and beak disorder which he did not have, but he did have worms and that this may be the cause of his plucking. We felt dreadful that we had never thought to worm him as this meant that he must have had worms when we got him from the pet shop as he has no contact with other birds. So he was treated for worms, but alas the feather plucking did not stop. We also recieved literature on feather plucking and causes. So we went away with our literature and read up on everything related to feather plucking on the brochures and also anything we could find on the internet.
Maybe he has OCD.
