Help guys! Sebastian started plucking his shoulder about two weeks ago, and I brought him to see our trusted bird lady, who has way more experience than I and my gf do, and she said that it looked like Sebastian and Pilaf the yellow-sided in the back, were eating each others feathers. Okay, maybe they've been bathing in their water that has a lot of food in it at times or something. But over the last week, he's gotten really aggressive with me, not my gf, he's been fluffing and hissing and lunging and biting the crap out of me and that's very very very unlike him. He's almost 3 so he should be too old for a bluffing phase, right? Anyway after a particularly rough day today where he attacked me a lot, (and I kept my cool and kept treating him and training him and working with him) but after a little time along I came back and there were so many little black and grey feathers on the floor of his cage and his head had these bald spots, I am so sad, I am fairly sure he did this to himself, and I also think he's done the majority of the shoulder damage himself as I saw him doing it a couple times these past few days. We are going to bring him to a vet asap, but this is such new territory for us, any suggestions right off the bat for us to start with? He's all wet because my gf wanted to make sure she didn't see any mites or any problems with his skin and it looks clear and healthy. I'm so sad for my little man, and so worried!
