I have tried everything to get my blue crown to stop plucking and nothing has worked so far. My vet gave us some tubing to use as a collar around his neck so that he cannot reach his feathers to pluck. I put it on him last night for about an hour and sat with him. He freaked out a little but calmed down quickly. He is a very friendly bird and was happy being cuddled and so he didn't bother it too much after a few minutes. I took it off so he could sleep and put it back on this morning. Again, he seems to be doing okay...it's annoying him a little, but he is getting more used to it. He doesn't seemed stressed, which is what I was most worried about. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this tactic and had good luck with it. Opinions of experiences are greatly appreciated!
