My Goffins did the same thing I started useing some new
lotion and he didn't like it. Now that I stopped useing it
he grew all his feathers back in and looks beautiful!!! Are
you using anything new like perfume, air freshners, lotion
new makeup anything you get on your hands and then touch him.
My Goffins is 2 now and it took me about 6 months to figure
it out but I was glad I did. Good Luck!!! Rosie
