How often do your budgies drop tail feathers?

Hello!

Just curious to know what fellow budgie owners experience with tail feather moults. :)

I know budgies can moult all year round 'continuously'. Do your budgies drop their long tail feathers pretty frequently?

Preeno recently finished a big moult but is starting up again! Since May he's dropped 4 tail feathers.

Kiwi and Blizzard have dropped four feathers each in the time I've had them, they seem to drop one tail feather every three months starting at the first molt.

Kiwi just dropped one recently and has a cute little tail feather growing on right now.

My budgie Oliver has dropped four in the past two years while Winston has also dropped four (or more) in the past year. It just depends I guess

I'll find tail feathers from my two budgies a few times (~4) a year.

My budgie dropped a lot in the first year but has seemed to slow down now. I got most of the feathers start of winter and summer. :budgie2:
