Hi ive never posted anything so i hope this is correct!
French moult!
In my experience and in research french moult is a virus carried by all budgies and it varies slightly from flock to flock !
So when birds are put together from different sources the different strains of the virus react and french moult occurs !
This can be prevented by putting all your birds together for 4 to 6 months
(The longer the better)
This gives the flock time to build its own amunity to that paticular strain
(Dont introduce any new birds during this time) then you can commence breeding and there should be no french moult! My experience is with budgies!
All the best!paul b.
