Hi All,
I have a 9 year old grey. She has been labelled as a plucker by the 2 very experienced Avian vets I have taken her to over the years.
At age 3 she took one wing feathers out followed by the other. The problem is they can’t find a problem. Blood tests, X-ray’s you name it several times might I add. I have followed the many steps and advice given. She has everything she could want and lots of cuddles.
However over the last couple of years we have noticed that she lets her feathers grow in winter and then literally obliterates herself in summer; always the same pattern tail, wings then chest.
This to me doesn’t seem like a behaviour thing - more something the heat/dry weather is causing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sj
