Thought I’d let you guys see some pics of the newest edition to my flock. He’s an 11 year old, abused, feather plucking Congo African Grey parrot named ‘Bean’.

Notice how he picks his upper chest feathers, and chews his lower chest feathers in half. He’s not the worst feather plucking parrot in the world, but I decided to adopt him specifically so you could watch me rehabilitate him here on this blog… with free tip filled videos.

So don’t expect Bean to look this plucked for long… today was his first day of training, and it won’t be long before I have him in top top shape, and hopefully fully feathered again.

He’s super fearful of people, and refuses to step up for ANYONE as of right now.

Make sure you subscribe to the rss feed on this blog, or check back often so you can see his progress as I train him live.

I’ll post again in a few days when I have some more progress on how his training has progressed.

Notice the mangled feather destruction and plucking
