moulting

I recently noticed that my indian ringneck parrot’s right eye has a little pinkish bump near it. here are some pictures of the bump, it’s a very very light pink and is a little swollen around her eye. I really hope it’s just due to her moult, she’s been going though a very tough moult, I’ve...

tail bobbing? yesterday i noticed my indian ringneck bobbing her tail like this (the link above) I started panicking (it’s what I do best when I notice any changes in my parrot) today the bobbing wasn’t AS noticeable but i could see her tail shaking a bit.. she’s been her usual self (although...

this is the 2nd feather i found in last few days. Isit moulting or plucking. My GW is around 3-4 years old

Hey guys, this is my first time on this forum, I really need some help!! My cinnamon conure, Frankie, is about 8 months old, I've had him since he was 4 weeks old. He's been having a lot of trouble moulting the past couple of months. His feathers seem to be perpetually stuck in their sheaths. I...

When I was scriting my pearl whiteface tiels head I felt something spiky. I can't really see the feather's that come out because of her greyish white colourations. I also spotted a few small feathers at the bottom of her cage. So is she moulting?

I'm not sure how to tell if my birds are moulting or not. There was a period of time where there were a lot of small feathers around their cage (and in the floor near it), then it sort of slowed down. Now it seems to have picked up again. Maybe my male budgie is actually moulting? He shook his...

hi, i have a 1 year old sun conure who is molting at the moment.. but what concerns me is that some of her feathers that are already falling doesnt have the empty canal, as if she was breaking it.. theres no vet here in my town so i dont know what to do.. i have a picture where the left one is...

Hello! So I went to my local pet store today and found this moulting and conditioning formula by kaytee (see attached photo). My own two budgies are moulting so I am wondering if this is safe or if anyone uses the same thing. I searched up the ingredients and attched it to this thread. I am...

Hi guys! I have had my two budgies for about 3 months now, and they are both around 8 months old. I have one male and one female, the male named Kiwi and the Female named Winter. Currently I can tell that they are both in a molt as there are a lot of dropped feathers at the bottom of the cage...

Hey everyone, Can someone please reassure me that sky’s forehead is just normal moulting? It’s never been this bad before and I have also noticed that she has many pin feathers on her wings. Her tail feathers have came out as well and I am guessing that new ones will grow back soon. I have seen...

My budgie is going through a moult right now, and I was wondering if I should keep her diet the same or increase it? Right now, she gets 1.5 teaspoons of seed, around a teaspoon of spray millet, veggies for breakfast and dinner, and there's always Roudybush pellets available in her cage. Should...

Hi all! I'm a first time bird owner with a hand-tame lutino cockatiel called Bambino, coming up to 6 months old. He bonded with me really quickly and now loves my partner too. We decided not to have him clipped and he's really good at flying now, he can be a bit mischievous but he's got a...

My pionus is almost a year and a half old, but she hasn't gone through a "big" molt, and she's not really moulting right now. She replaced some feathers in the past 1-2 months, but not as many as I would've expected. The last vet appointment was about 2 months ago. She was in good shape for the...

First of all SORRY FOR THE SPAM We haven't kept birds for a long while and when we did there wasn't anyone to do a whole lot of research so they unfortunately would pass before their time. So with the two birds we have now I may be a little paranoid but I want to make sure my babies are okay...

My ringneck is supposedly around one and a half years old, and we got him around a week and a half ago due to him having to be rehomed as fast as possible. Frankie (now accepting new name suggestions too) has been itching like crazy! He loves his spray showers and seems to calm down a little...

I own 2 kakarikis, female and male (female shown in my profile picture!) but my male seems to have very ugly, to say feathers. He was like this ever since I purchased him and I think he might be moulting. They are about 1 year old do kakarikis moult when they are 1 year old or if not is there...

Hi guys, So after having Toki and Pickles for a while now, I think they've just started their first moult. Toki in particular is losing feathers at an alarming rate, though there are no bald patches, and I'm worried they may have mites. Call me paranoid (and I may well be) but I've never had a...

I have a two budgies and one of them is moulting. His face looks rather dark and I'm unsure if this is normal or not as these are my first budgies. He's acting lively and happy and he's not acting unusual. Is this just because he's moulting?
