Good morning everyone!! I would like to know your opinion on an issue Gandalf has been having during some time.
Context: My whole family had covid 1 and a half months ago, in that time gandalf was alone most of the time due to us being sick (everything was kept clean we just couldnt take him out of the cage which is really big anyways), during those 2 to 3 days he plucked most of his wings due to the stress and we took him to the vet; the vet said everything was fine as far as health is concerned and that it was an stress issue.
During these last weeks gandalf feathers have been falling, first his long right wing feather fell with some blood due to the shaft being broken while he was trying to fly (he cannot fly right now due to plucking) so we werent concerned at all since it was already damaged, we took care of the shaft and once it fell everything is fine.
however today he lost the other wing long feather (photo below) and some more feathers that have plucking signs (from covid time it seems). i would like to know if this is normal because it looks like a normal molt, however i dont know if you think the feathers look as a normal molting or not.
as always sorry for my english level since it is not my native language and thanks in advance for everything. im really worried
