Default Plucking on just one side

My grey is over 20 years old and has always been a light plucker in cyles. This time, he hs taken off the feathers on the right side of his chest perfectly. He is aabut bald on one side and near perfect on the other side.

Any comments and or suggestions?

Welcome aboard

I have seen many pluckers but have never seen a half chest pluck. I would do a Vet check if it was my parrot. He could have something internal going on with that side of his chest.

I agree with Joe. Emma did that at one point, and she indeed had some issues with her liver going on. After some meds, we were able to get it undercontrol and she grew all her feathers back.
