Hi
Have been reading up on your website on african greys. We have one, sally who we keep in the house with us. She has just developed a feather problem ie the small downy feathers on her chest and her back seem to be dropping out leaving her almost bald. She is not a feather plucker and all her main feathers are fine and we get her out most days and she goes outside when we do etc. So I am mystified what is causing this.
I have looked at your article on diet and this may be the problem. I am not sure, because although she is a fussy eater, she has a good seed and nut food. She of course loves all the things deemed bad for her ie cheese,cream, chocolate. She will eat oranges and sometimes grapes, but she is not a big fruit lover. She has chicken and any other cooked meat and sometimes she loves to chew the chicken bones .
She is approaching 4 yrs old and always looked well up to recently. Is there anything you can suggest to get her back into good conditon? It's no good taking her to a vet as most of them have got less of a clue than me.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
kind regards
allan
