I know this does sound daft but it's a shame some one hasn't brought out a little jacket that covers the chest, just to give his feathers a chance to recover a little, I am presuming he pecks his chest. Mel ![Plotting :plot:](./images/smilies/plot.gif)

Mel, they actually exist! The little jumpers. I had no idea until I saw the pictures of one of Moonchild's cockatiels, who was a plucker (RIP baby Dolce). I hope she won't mind me posting her picture here so you can see it ![Image](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/garance/IMG_0579_zps917507bd.jpg) I see that someone has even created a business over the issue, I wonder how many orders they get... but there are a lot of pluckers out there alas http://www.thesockbuddy.com/

It does seem like this would be a risk. I haven't found any comments about birds eating the sock, but if you look at their Facebook page there are people talking about other problems, like refusing to eat or getting very stressed. I remember that the thread about Dolce said she was going pretty crazy at first.
