Before doing anything, the possible causes should be ruled out. Giardia is a very frequent cause of plucking in birds
feather picking
First things first.. complete vet workup.. giardia testing, you can order a kit from the website I just gave you.
All medical causes should be ruled out before assuming it is behavioral. That website will give loads of info.

I will have her checked again, but she was fine last time we went. But then again, that was about 7-8 months ago. She could have pickced up something in that time.
It is pretty dusty out here where we live in Phoenix (Surprise actually, west end of the city close to open desert) I wonder if that could be the problem?
