mine is a plucker
I have a M2 and she has plucked for a long while. I just recently rehomed her and her previous owner went through a divorce and the m2 was left with the ex hubby. Well to make a long story short they also had a B&G Macaw. The M2 hated it. Plus the children of the new wife were really mean to her. So when my friend inherited her back from ex hubby she was totally bald except her head feathers. She even shredded her tail feathers down to the shaft as well. Since I have had her for 2 weeks almost.... she has not touched a feather on her body whatsoever. Her pink feathers are starting to come back in some areas. I have purchased Dow Rods for her to chew on and foraging snacks which seem to help. She has learned to play hide and seek and loves to snuggle. I think it just takes alot of one on one time to get their mind off of a Obssesive Compulsive habit. We can try everything in the world but don't beat yourself up over it because it may be nothing that you have done. Is she good with your other birds?
