My friends Grey has been plucking for about a year. He has been examined by Dr Scott McDonald 2x. He recommended calcium, pluck no more, and avian calm which help a little. She also uses aloe spray and he loves showers. He gets a ton of attention and out of cage time. She is worried and now considering a bird collar as it is, overall, getting worse over time. Given where a collar sets on the neck, I am worried it won’t stop the plucking on the neck and will keep him from preening. The plucking only happens when she is not at home. Attached are a couple photos. Suggestions? 9626A51B-AD5B-4B1E-A63B-64E90FC46691.jpeg 6D7398A3-DC36-4D4C-8B7D-8159CCFF44AD.jpeg B64C6DD3-E448-41D2-8DAE-C4D88F4AB40B.jpeg She has been taking him to work but is not really something that can continue indefinitely.
