It seems like I've been finding more and more feathers on the lining of the birds' cages or even on the ground these last few days.

No one looks particularly bad, but there's definitively loss of feathers going on.

I guess it's molting time.
I've been collecting the nicer feathers that I have found and already have quite a few of them.

Anyone else has birds who are molting right now??

Twinkie started molting in January and seems to have stopped at a partial molt. Kinda strange.

We're in the beginning stages of molt here! I swept up a dustpan full of feathers today, then spent time with each of my birds working on their pins.

Yep I have molters here too. Pretty's molting has seemed to really of kicked in good just the last couple of days. Snowy has a pretty good pin head and Gwen has been molting for acouple weeks now.
When I was at the rescue last Sunday the lady was mentioning how it seems to be a bad year for molting.:confused:

I don't think Boo ever stops molting. :lol:

No, there are times where it seems to wane, but he seems to be in overdrive mode more often than not.

To be honest, I don't think I ever noticed it being as much as it has been these last few days... :)
