Well she's here. She's scared and plucked on her shoulders, belly and around her vent. She's making some beeping and popping noises for me so that's good. I'll get pictures of her a little later.

Sorry I just see plucking and not always but I swear in MY LIFE there is usually ALSO a Bacterial Infection and dietary issues.

I also think of bacterial infections and dietary issues, along with environmental. If the cage is too small, and lacking enough perches of variety and toys and a bird who has been cage bound. More than likely they feed a crappy diet and more than likely they dont clean the cage very often noor the water.

Otegah, BIG CONGRATS! And God bless you for taking in a rescue!

She was actually in a large kings cage I was told. I think she's just been ignored for far too long. She ate oatmeal off a spoon for me like it was going out of style. I bet she'll warm up for me :)
