Meeting neighbors
Hi all!
My name is Cheri. I live in Los Angeles County in So. CA with my husband of 18 years, three children ages 17, 15 and 4, 3 dogs and lastly but not least by any means 5 feathered friends. Maggie (B&G) 4 yrs, Yogi (U2) 14 yrs, Sunny (Goffin) 8 yrs, Paco (cockatiel) 6 yrs and our newest addition (just this past weekend) Borus (CAG) 16 yrs. All the humans in our household are very involved with our flock, including the 4yr old whom we call the bird whisperer.
Boris our CAG came to us from a wonderful couple whom just no longer has the time to care for him. Over the last several years he has become a habitual plucker. He has had serveral complete vet work ups and is perfectly healthy. Many hours a day alone for a number of years seems to be the problem. He is nothing but a grey puff of down but we have high hopes our active bird loving family can give him what he needs. I found this board searching for info regarding plucking, glad I found it! Great forums with a wealth of information. I look forward to gleaning tons of information, as well as contribution some of my knowledge from over 20 yrs experience.
