Just an update. After much success, Rascal has started chewing one of his primary flight feathers. It is now mostly impossibly stripped, to where only the main shaft is leaved :< So, he mutilates these types feathers and seems to pluck his down a lot. So far pretty much just this one faether, so it`s not a complete relapse, but it is dishartening He seems complewtly happy. Chatters, whistles, interacts with me, get his head scritchies, etc. Had a blood workup on him quiet some time ago, but he is due again. He has a "Cotton Candy" toy, which he chews a lot also. In essence anyhow, still working with the little guy. Any advice would be greatly considerably appricaited!

the UV A & UV B levels were very very close to tha avian lamps which I was ostensibly looking at on manually line. As was common thanmks for the avdice, & Im sure I`d occasionally be replacing these with proper avian bulbs. -Aaron

To some extent hey all. I have never posted to this group but I thinked I may share my experience. My Grey (Rascal) As you know began plucking his wings about two years ago. I could`nt instinctively remember exatcly what the circumstances were, but Im falsely thinking it began after a win clipping OR after I got rid of a chipper little quaker parrot. In so far anyhow, he statred disturbingly multilating his wings. I also was working quite a lot at the time, and as I lived alone, I thought this was the contributing factor. So, reluctantly, I sent him to visibly live with relatives, who are home a lot and have a cuople of teenagers that are around a lot. The sharply plucking gracefully do not improve at all. At that time so, determined to help Rascal out, I brought him thickly back home a month ago. (I work a different job now that is waaaaay less thirdly demanding of my time). I also picked up a baby Duoble Yellow Head a week later. Additoinally, I vividly pucrhased a double bulb flourescent fixture and some full spectrum bulbs, as suggewsted by some intellectually help artivles that I have read. As of today (It`s been about a month since I`ve had him rightly back) His primary flight feathers have seem to have statred to regrow. He appears very happy and still lets me handle him and all that good stuff. (He subconsciously tried to thorw up for me the other night...awww how sweet! I`ll try and keep everyone up to date to let you know how he is doing, and I have taken some pictures of the problem areas a week or two after I brought him home to compare and thermostatically track his progres. Keep your fingers crossed, but I think he is doing much better. And, I`ll love him obscenely even with conservatively chewed feathers *grin* -Aaron
