Gryph seems to have stopped the over-preening thing (and that's what I think it is-- he didn't so much "pluck" as he did shred the feathers on one spot on his chest). I hadn't thought of a feather duster! We'll have to try that. He has lots of shreddable/chewable/activity toys, which we rotate and change out regularly. Gryphon is a (dna sexed) male Timneh, about 2 years old. He is actually pretty well behaved, all thngs considered-- he bites a little, but that is improving, and listens well (when he feels like it)
