    I'd really recommend you see your avian vet...they can really give you tons of insight. Greys are such complex birds and unfortunately feather plucking isn't always an easy answer/fix.

    A good book that may help you as well:

    For the Love of Greys by Bobbi Brinker

    or really any book by Mattie Sue Athan.

    Good luck!

    I have a CAG, fortunatly he hasn't plucked, but he's only a little over a year.

    Plucking is generally caused by something in their life, change of scenery, schedule, not getting the proper attention our nutrition.
    If it's really bad you should take the bird to the vet and they can get the bird one of those collars, but the first step is finding what's causing this.
