My pionus is almost a year and a half old, but she hasn't gone through a "big" molt, and she's not really moulting right now. She replaced some feathers in the past 1-2 months, but not as many as I would've expected.
The last vet appointment was about 2 months ago. She was in good shape for the physical exam, no issues with CBC or chem profile. Not overweight. But she has some black-edged feathers that worry me, so I'm anxious to see if she goes to normal feathers with a few diet changes I made to hopefully address that. Even more worrying that she's not molting them out.
Should I be worried? Is there something that's recommended (besides adding more protein, calcium, vitamin A to the diet) that could help with this?
Thanks for your help
