Goffin cockatoo feather problem

I have a male 6 year old goffin. We moved from a home to a
condo and after 6 months, he started to loose his feather
powder....and picked his feathers. A year plus later, he's
getting better but slowly. I'v tried bee pollen mixed in
food (recommended by an exotic pet sales person) and shower
him weekly. In the same cage i have his female companion,
same age who has the same diet and environment, but never
had any feather problems. I'v had both of them blood tested
and their normal and healthy. The avian vet also examined
them physically. No problem. He acts normal and is
preening ok now.....any other further suggestions to help
him along?

Welcome! I have never used it but many people on this board have had great results with Kings Cages Pluck No More. I hope that it helps!
