I haven't been online in a while.. unfortunately, work has been so chaotic, that I dont get time to surf my favourite bird forums much anymore..
O well..
Couple of questions for you all:
Whats up with my bird sulking??? I spend as much time with her as possible (about an hour before work - and about 2-3 hours i the evening when I get home from work), on weekends, we are together ALL the time and she goes everywhere with me.. But the last couple days (especially last night and today) she has been puting her head down and walking away from me and refuses to come to me

I am giving her space right now - have added some new toys to her tree gym a few minutes ago, so she is playing with that now I think..
How can I get her to stop all this sulking? Is she just being moody ??
She doesn't even look at me when I call her.. I dont think I have upset her in any way..
Also, I have heard people talking about bluffing - what exactly is it??
Can you believe she is STILL plucking her feathers out?? I cant begin to tell you how frustrating this is for me..
The vet has told me to get stuff called Eco Fear to put in her water.. Apparently it works on some birds - others not.. another vet told me to get Bitter Beak as it makes their feathers taste bad, though I have heard horro stories about that, that birds pluck the feathers out even MORE to get rid of the nasty stuff on them!!
The last time she was taken to the vet, he said that it was mating season (I highly doubt that btw, as it is just gone winter here).. he put it down to hormones..
In all, Sky seems to be a really happy baby.. Just the plucking problem.. She has a pretty good diet as well.. I give her AviPet mixed with Jungles oats and raisons.. Another bowl with apples and fruit.. I have also started puting some plumage oil stuff in her food and water to (hopefully) help with growing some feathers

Any other thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
What are your thoughts on clicker training?
