Under cannibalism, add "increased fiber." Feeding fiber means they have to eat more throughout the day to fill their daily requirements. If they're spending more time eating, there is less time for bored habits like feather picking and cannibalism. You don't want the fiber to exceed 15% of the diet though. Any higher and they will begin to lose weight.
