Answer
Hi, Janet,

Everything on this website is done via the website.  We do not make telephone calls.  You are doing exactly what needs to be done by taking this bird to a certified avian veterinarian (not a dog/cat vet) who can look the bird over to see if there are health reasons for the plucking.  Normally, feather plucking is a psychological problem.
