Post: Sudden plucking

Posted by NewtoToos on 5/01/08

So my Cockatoo Zoe, who we rescued three weeks ago,
suddenly started plucking this morning (or overnite).
When I got up this morning there were small feathers all
over her cage and when I examined her to see where they
came from, she has a bald patch on her chest!

Granted we have not had her very long at all, but it was
my understanding that she has never done this before. She
is a very sweet and I would like to think, happy bird.
What are the factors, if any, that would cause sudden
plucking?


Thank you!
