We adopted Charles lovebird Apr 23 this year from spca. We were told he was pecked at by crows and is missing feathers. We quickly realized he is plucking himself. He shakes and breathes heavy every time we go near him. He has been to the vets twice now and they say he has gained weight which is good. However, by nighttime he finally will get comfortable enough to take millet from my hand but then it's bedtime and we start all over again, scared in the morning. I can't get anywhere near him to touch him and he won't sit on me or a stick. I've tried every suggestion to calm him online. I just want him to stop shaking and being so afraid! Every morning I feel like we are starting from scratch.
