I'm curious to see how many of our members have pluckers, and to hear a bit about them.
Chico my CAG was hatched August of 1996. He started picking at about three years old. It's been a long time. His originated from a rather large infection he'd developed and he continued to do so after treatment. Our vet felt it was habitual. It now appears to be a seasonal thing too though, happening in the winter months when it's dryer.
Oh to clarify, yes Emily, barbering birds count too, Chico actually barbers his feathers he doesn't really pluck them off his chest.
