I was wondering where the citation was for this? I'm on a facebook discussion group and some of the Senegals have plucking problems and I wanted to link them to the source so that they would take it seriously instead of dismissing the idea that generally it's not psychological.


I don't know where grey moons info is from but my 70% figure is from the link I posted above. I would definitely be interested if anyone else has any other articles/figures etc and want to post a link or suggested reading.
