: all of his feathers (Possibly
: due to his change of ocupation

: he stops plucking, how long will

: back, and is there any vitamins
: that will help.

Mike, You should make sure he has a wellness exam by an avain vet who deals with birds. Make sure it doesn't have mites or any other underlying illness to make them pluck. Go by some preening toys to give him something to like a string doll or piniata. Something to preen and schred. They say pomagrantes help. but make a mess.
