Hi there,

So I've noticed that people's IRNs that I've seen in person and on another site, a lot of them seem to be pluckers. Some quite severe and some very minor.
My question is, are IRNs another bird (like Eclectus) that are typically prone to plucking behaviors?

It would just be a shame if I got a beautiful IRN and it started plucking (even it got a ton of attention) and ended up looking all scruffy! I mean, they aren't any less of a wonderful animal but it makes them look unhealthy.

Are IRNs prone to be pluckers?

There can be all sorts of reasons for plucking, medical, lack of stimulation, trauma, etc. Neither of my two pluck their feathers.

I know that there are many different reasons for a bird to pluck but I was wondering if IRNs are a bird that is prone to it... aka they easily get stressed out like an Eclectus does if they're in a high traffic area and then they pluck? Unlike other birds which can be in a crazy household and not care?
