Constant preening?

I think my hair is going to fall out! As soon as Mojo steps up onto my finger, he flys to my shoulder and starts preening my hair. I feel flattered really and know its a sign of affection, but I am wondering is this going to be a problem for him? Is it a sign that he will be a feather plucker or is bored or am I reading to much into it?

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.

Constant Preening

I think you are reading too much into this. Birds do spend a lot of time during the day preening and your bird is making sure he is taking very good care of you as well.

Lol I guess I must just be paranoid. I ran my fingers through my hair while he was preening it, without thinking, and Mojo scolded me for it.
I guess I am just worried that him being the only bird in the house when he came from a place where he was constantly in contact with other gcc, that he is going to get lonely and pull alll his feathers out.
I really need to relax
