So this thread is for advice, and also for myself to keep track of Chipper's feather progression (or not).
From what I can see, maybe it looks more like chewing than plucking? He smells pretty strongly like cigarettes (the owner of the rescue's husband smokes) and I'm not sure how long it's been since he had a bath. I misted him today, but he wasn't too sure about it, so I didn't do much. I hope we can see some progress eventually, but we'll see..

Feathers look fine. Too's, we'll some, can over do it when grooming their feathers. And that's typical with too's, as they have more powder than other birds, so they tend to groom alot.
Misting... some birds like it, others don't. I have a shower perch which I can move to kitchen and greyson will play in running water. Hates being misted. Poppers is the opposite, loves a mist, hates running water. Both love a big shallow bowl of water to splash in.
