I'm late to this post, but I was just searching molting. As a first time bird parent seeing the dropped feathers makes me nervous. Aoife just dropped a few this week, and they don't look damaged like someone mentioned. She does seem to be itchy, I'm trying to leave the humidifier on for her. I just haven't seen any pin feathers ... That's the weird part for me. It looks like she's lost a few right on the top of her beak and a little down her belly and by her legs. She has not lost any tail or wing feathers. I've read a little about birds molting in specific body areas according to their age, like going into adult feathers in cycles. Instead of making a new thread I just hijacked this one, sorry! Same thing, same species. I'd love any insight! I would be so confused without all of you on this forum!
