In Reply to: An update on my grey... posted by kac on December 17, 2002 at 17:54:11:
An adult grey without feathers is not just molting. If a bird is going through a heavy molt, their feathers can look a little "rough" but they won't look naked. The first thing you need to do is take your grey to a qualified avian vet for a check up--there are many reasons why a bird picks his/her feathers, and most of them have a physical cause.
Good luck!

:Just thought I'd leave an update on my grey that I got from going to auction in November. When I got him (I have now named him Remi)he didn't have hardly any feathers and was told he was moulting. In the few weeks I've had him he has gotten alot of feathers back in. When I clean his cage there are little "fluffy down" feathers all over. The other night he was acting very scared of something, when I went over to his cage later that night the bottom of his cage was covered with feathers(new grey feathers not the white fulffies). Does this mean he is a feather plucker?
:I have also come to the conclusion that he is blind in his right eye. And he is also missing some nails on one of his feet.
:He still hasn't talked and he isn't whistling as much, he did however bark with the dogs and immitated one of their squeek toys.
:Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated..
