Hi guys,
So after having Toki and Pickles for a while now, I think they've just started their first moult. Toki in particular is losing feathers at an alarming rate, though there are no bald patches, and I'm worried they may have mites. Call me paranoid (and I may well be) but I've never had a bird moult so heavily before. They're definitely not plucking as there's no blood on the feathers that I find, and no damage that I can see. I'm scared to take them to the vet as the last time they went for a checkup they were terrified to the point that I honestly thought the stress would kill Toki.
Any advice? I can provide photos if that's any help!
