You have done a great job bringing your grey back. I've had my Tihmney for 3 years and he has been plucking for the last year. If you check out my homepage, he was beautiful. Now his chest is featherless. It makes me so sad. He wants to be with me every second but I can't do that. He is out of his cage whenever I'm home. Don't know what else to do!

Hi. What have you been doing to help with the plucking? If you go to my homepage you will see my Simon was beautiful to start but in the last year he has really been plucking in the last couple of pictures. He is out of the cage whenever I am home and he has a special perch to be near me when I am on the computer. I just can't be with him 24/7.

That is a very quick change from a bald parrot to a feathered parrot.
I don't know if the feather pikking will disappear, but the diffrence in thos 11 weeks is amazing!

What is your secret? What did you do to make such a big diffrence?
