It's been a year since we adopted Bella the CAG from the pet shop. She was a complete mess when we got her. Very stressed out and plucking feathers from her chest and back. Even her wings showing down feathers sticking out all over the place.
She was SO friendly from the first time I saw her I just knew my family could help her recover and had to get her out of that pet shop ASAP. She has been a wonderful addition to our house from day 1 and continues to learn things that keep us amazed.
She still has problems but much less as time goes by. She still plucks her feathers from her chest but not from her back and wings. She goes through periods of letting them grow back but then start taking them out again. Could be it's something we will just have to live with. As long as she is happy that's the main thing.
She still does not play with toys much. Tried different types and get very little interest.
We keep her out of the cage a lot of the time but now if there is some reason she needs to be in the cage she gets upset.
I am so grateful to have had the chance to rescue this beautiful intelligent bird and bring her into our life.
