Ruby's plucking post in ask the expert, African Grey's

[Lynjupiter]

I just have to say I loved the post on Ruby and plucking in the African Grey section. It is a shame it is hiding in there because what Jean said could be applied to a lot of other plucking birds. I have a plucking U2 and found that post very funny and very informative.

I have asked the same questions ( Is she nuts? Am I nuts? LOL ) , thought the same thing. Finally I stopped focusing on it so hard and accepted my bird as she was, with or without feathers. It made us both relax a bit more.

Anyways I loved the post, questions and answers. It made me smile. I sure hope you find a solution someday Graeh. I hope we all do. I watched my bird go from stunning to almost naked. I understand the heart break and stress it causes.
