Trick or 'Tiel wrote:Yes, it's true that I have seen some Quakers and Parrotlets, and sometimes Conures, pluck their feathers, but I still see it much more often with larger parrots such as Cockatoos and African Greys. Have you really seen a Cockatiel pluck? Interesting. And I never said it wasn't possible for small birds to pluck their feathers, I just said it was more common in larger birds.
