I've read that in general Pois will begin a big "baby molt" at about eight months. Well, Keiki's almost 8 months old and there are feathers EVERYWHERE! Lots of down, but also contour feathers. They seem to be growing back pretty well. She's always asking me to preen her, which I do, maybe a little too much. (She's getting really obnoxious about always being with me.) She bathes regularly. She doesn't care for being misted - I sneak it in while she's bathing. My question is how long will this last? I can't seem to put the vacuum cleaner away. :)
