Hi, I have a 1 and half year old Congo African grey. At 7months old he took a plunge off his cage and split his breast slightly open. I nurtured him back to health and it healed perfectly. However since then he's turned into a fearful and overly sensitive bird. Doesn't like a lot of things bath time , most toys, gets upset even if u just tell him "No dont bite my furniture" . He started plucking his feathers I nurturted him back to health and again and again . He keeps goin back to plucking his feathers even though everyone is being super sweet to him no reprimanding , always making outside time as well as play time (which hes also not really that interested in) bathing him twice a week. I dont know what to do anymore because in the next month there'll be a few changes (I heard that changes their behaviour) so im worried . Im too scared to even take him to the avian vet because its quite a long drive for him and will stress him out. Could I jus take him to a normal vet which is just around the corner? What advice can u give me to help him out abit? Am I allowed to bath him anythin to make him a calmer bird or somethin to keep his feathers n skin healthy?
