Mistyparrot Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello Georgie. Welcome to the best African Grey forum in the known universe. There are many reasons for feather loss. You don't say how your bird is losing his. Is it a plucking problem or some kind of skin condition? How long has he had the problem? How is he being kept at home ? Is he in a cage all the time? Has he had any changes to his life? Is he being stressed in any way? What about his diet ? I have no experience with Calcivet or Feather Up but these are dietary supplements that will help feather re-growth but plucking is often a psychological problem that needs to be resolved. Boredom , stress and loneliness are important factors in plucking. Even a poorly located cage can start these kinds of problems. Have you seen this article on feather plucking from the makers of Feather Up? http://www.allbirdproducts.com/articles/health/featherpluck.html Please come back and tell us more about yourself and your Darling.
