Oh beccy,good news for sky but not for you.I do believe in fate,& this wasnt meant to be,I'm sure if you seriously want a second bird the right one is out there for you
I'm with the other members on this one, Alex was much loved, He wasnt treated as a guines pig in a lab, he had a good life with Irene & the staff from the lab.
Einstein is owned by a zoo & I'm sure he has a great life too.

kiwibarb12 Thanks for posting that it just shows the importance of checking our birds poop for changes,& in your case saving your birds life Karma to you.
May well be he is missing his DAD, he maybe plucking for attention if your wife is spending more time with the macaw.He may be jealous.He may be stressed.He should be coming up for his first molt around 12 months,is he looking aa little scruffy ?
Get a second check at the vet just to make sure it's not a medical related problem.
Hi sorry to hear your having problems.
There is always a reason behind the plucking & it can be so frustrating for owners because you have to find out what is causing it, before you can start to fix the problem.Has there been anything that has changed in your greys life recently which may have started him to pluck ?The list is endless but a few possibilities are;
Frustration from long periods in his cage
Lack of mental & physical stimulation
Change of family circumstances/ environment
Incorrect periods of light/darkness
A poor diet, high in fatty foods
Attention seeking.
I visited ground zero in December 05 & wanted to pay my own tribute to all those who died,The rescue workers, the families left behind & everyone else involved or affected by this tragic day.God bless you all.
