Mama Buster

Your picture just cracks me up!

Hi everyone, I'm new here and would like your advise. I have a 13 yr-old African Grey named Buster who is a plucker. I've been researching this topic for years and have implemented many different solutions: toys, lighting, diet, music, etc . . . I took her to an avian vet a few weeks ago and have confirmed through blood tests that she is healthy. That said, one option I am trying is a "sock buddy" (see http://www.thesockbuddy.com) which strikes me as logical and has had good results. It takes time, but my Buster isn't real keen on this idea so far. We've been doing it for a few days and she has shredded several sweaters. I'm wondering, has anyone here tried this for their bird? I'm wondering how long it generally takes for parrots to finally accept their sweater. Thanks
