So I have recently adopted a 3 year old female SC2 (Charlee) that had previously been owned by a family friend, unfortunately they didn't have enough time to provide her with the attention and care she needs, and before them, Charlee had been in hand-reared in a house with other parrots. Apparently since she was very young she was a plucker and it was put down to bullying by the other parrots. In the time that my family friend had her, her feathers had started to grow back a little and she has shown even more signs of growth recently. However, I've found these feathers in the last few days, the last one today. I think it's molting (two of them look like they've come from each side and her hormonal behaviour links in as well as the dowsy feathers I've found) but I've never had a plucker before and I just want a second opinion. She overpreens, and I'm worried she's pulled them out while doing so. What does anyone think?
