  1. I have had Moe my African Grey for over 20 years. I received her at 2 weeks of age and finished hand feeding her. For years I have been so careful that she has toys nothing disturbs her and is kept active so this would not happen. I have been pretty much an "overprotective" mom. Within the past week or so she has started picking out her wing feathers and around the shoulder of her wings. This start right after her molting. I have racked my mind trying to think if anything has happened that is different and can come up with no answers. She eats good, poops fine and behaves like her usual self. She gets her baths and when she is done she is soaked to the skin. Moe has never been to the vet and is pretty content to stay around her cage so I am worried if I try to take her to the Vet that the stress of that would just add insult to injury plus I am not sure how I would get her in a pet carrier without one of us getting hurt. We are in an area that there are only a couple of avian vets. I was just wonder if anyone can give me any suggestions as to how to correct this, should I try to find a vet and take her? I am just lost as to what to do and so upset just seeing the pictures of all your beautiful birds and seeing how Moe has destroyed her beautiful feathers just tears me apart. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Annarundel and Moe
