Its
He's chewing the feathers all the way around on his neck, so probably not food or toy related.

My TAG, Darwin, chews his feathers. It started when he was wearing a cone after breaking his wing (before I got him) but has continued as a habit ever since. He only chews the edges of the feathers and it started on his neck. He is super active, super smart, a bit OCD and gets bored very easily.
Its only on the one side really, and same with him, very active and really wild lol. He isnt plucking them out they are just very rough like hes kinda jjst chewing them, because ive checked his cage every house for the last month when it started for any feathers, and nothing has showed, it looks like he just chews them and stuff.
