Hey all!

Is this normal? He's about a year old. I noticed this the other day when he was flying. He seems well and doesn't seem sick or anything. Thanks guys!

It looks to me like they are new feathers growing in that still have part of the sheath on them. He will likely preen them off.

Looks like he is just not very proactive about preening at the moment. They will eventually fall off if he doesn't preen them off.

Thanks for the replies! Does this mean he's going through a big molt?
