Oh I see, so moving him isnt such a good idea, had to chuckle with the our kids thing as we often say he fits right in. New toys have to be wrapped in newspaper or he wont even look at them, when we put him in his new cage, he sat looking out and wouldnt look back, he was seriously miffed. Anyway, ours didnt start plucking until we moved house, he was in our old dining room which was light airy and there were lots of plants around. (apparently plants by the cage are a real boost for them). Our hall, which is the only place we can put him, is dark, and stuffy only having borrowed light, there are no windows that open, so we thought it might be lack of light. My sons room is big enough to split into two, so we have a study area, thats where we have put him, hopefully he will stop plucking soon. Thanks for the aloe vera tip, I will try that. Or perhaps they all pluck every so often? I dont know, but the vet isnt worried, he just had a look at him and said its psychological. He is talking and singing and generally being himself in every other way.
