Breanne, sometimes Cockatoos are a little “tightly-wound” and in a captive situation, they will pluck out their own feathers. Not unlike neurotic human behaviors such as anorexia, pulling your own hair out or cutting, this is a behavior that will surface in some birds. King O will use his feet to pull out his head feathers.
