: My 4 year old congo has been
: plucking
: and preening since we moved into a
: new house. I am not with him as
: much as before because I work out
: of the house now. He is in our
: computer room where my daughter
: and
: son are doing homework and
: chatting
: from around 3-11 every day. He
: isn't bald but he has spoiled the
: feathers on his chest area. I got
: some helpful ideas but what I need
: to know is if he has been doing
: this for around a year but hasn't
: really plucked any feathers just
: constant preening will the
: feathers
: return to normal if I bath him
: every day and he is only on his
: own
: for 6 hours a day now. Can I use
: bitter apple on his feathers. The
: vet said he is just not adapting
: to
: the change of residence.
