Salty is in trouble with plucking

[DonnaBudgie]

I tried an "anti-plucking" toy that I got from MySafeBirdStore that's basically a big bouquet of feather (poultry, I presume). The Rb likes it but I notice no plucking change. Although it hasn't gotten worse...

I didn't know the RB plucked.

I am making an inquiry. The breeder and avian vet for my first CAG at different times told me this. Don't let him get in habit of playing/chewing on loose feathers. It could lead to compulsive and negative feather damaging behavior. I've followed that advice. Has this changed? (Let's say that was over 4 decade's ago.) Never saw any reason to investigate this.

We have always been very fastidious in removing any feathers that we find in his cage or play areas. Always.
