hi . i have been doing animal management for 3 years now and i work with african greys and other varies birds, the plucking of feathers is due to stress, due to not being comfortable in they new surrounding or getting used to their new surroundings, the bird will be fine its just acting out, however this may turn into steriotypical behaviour (repeating the same behaviour) and will not be able to be treated…. and for the african grey whos owner had died and its behaviour is changing this is due to stress aswel, parrots are very intelligent, a loss of the owner will take a tole on the animal, once it is used to its new owner it will be fine . hope this helps
