Hey guys. It just dawned on me that for the past few months, Trixie's only been plucking very specific parts of her body. She's been plucking a half inch spot of the right side of her throat/chest, a 1cm area of her right shoulder, and a tiny area on her lower back. I've found her on a few occasions with a very tiny smear of blood on her feathers.
Furthermore, when she mutilates, she screams angrily as if someone's bullying her, then lashes out at whoever's nearby, as if they were the ones hurting her. She's let the rest of her feathers grow in. Does this sound like typical plucker behaviour? I'm thinking of having her more closely examined, but I was wondering what you guys thought in the meantime. Thanks .
