It just dawned on me this morning that I added pistachio's to Truely's diet right around the time she started plucking. :headsmack: I don't know why I didn't think about it before, because the evidence is clear that Chotu plucks from corn, but it just didn't register for some reason. I am removing pistachio's from her diet and I will let you know how it goes. It takes a couple/three months to see changes, but I will keep you posted.

There are so many foods with corn in them. What do you feed instead? She won't pluck for three months from the time you remove those nuts, will she?i

Hope that is the cause and she regrows those feathers.

I mix up my own feed with Higgens small bird seed, Totally Organics Crumplets and dry soak or feed seed, red pepper flakes, a couple of handfuls of dry oatmeal, aviflax, milk thistle seed, bee pollen, cinnamon, and a couple of handfuls of grey sunflower seeds.
