Sock Buddy - Parrotchatter Forums

There have been several occasions where I've seen females especially wearing them. The problem comes from the way eclectus feathers lay. They are very flat and smooth and usually the socks irritate them, causing the bird to actually get even more stressed. I wouldn't worry about it. Lucy plucked and has never had to have anything special. If you are truley concerned with her plucking, it may be best to see a vet.
