Hiya, I got my little parrotlet Neptune about a month ago. He's about 4(ish) or just under months.
I heard they sometimes have issues with plucking. How do I tell the difference between moulting and plucking?
He sheds a lot of little white feathers.
My budgies used to do this (I was told by the breeder it's their underfeathers, or something?), but not to the quantity Neptune does! But then again, he is waaay more active that my two budgies ever were.
I've also found two of his longer feathers, either from his wings or tail. So, how would I know if he was plucking these, or he's in moult?
Thanks in advance!
