Hi everyone!
My cockatiels, they are 5 1/2 months, are molting. It seems to be moderate, as in they're not losing all feathers at one time.
They are a bit moody but otherwise doing ok. They eat, drink, play and whistle per usual.
During autumn and winter the daylight is very short (I live in Sweden). Sun rise is at 8-ish and sunset around 3ish. By December we'll be down to 5 hrs of daylight a day. I have a uv-b light which is now on for 8 hrs a day. I have increased vitamin b veggies in their diet.
Is there an estimate for how long I can expect molting to go on?
