Molting season, oh how we missed you.

[Sylvi_]

Turns out the light molt in February was just a ruse, and April is showing it’s true colors! Any of your birds also molting like their life depends on it?

I’ve become a full time pin feather demolisher for the grumpy Cactus Head.
Miss Cactus he- I mean Mimi, is none too pleased but that’s nothing millet won’t solve!

Everyone molting here! Well, mostly everyone, Obsidan looks shocking and is completly covered in pins, Opal's not quite as bad, But the chickens! They look like they've exploded!! There is feathers everywhere!

 

[Kassiani]

Wow! That’s a lot of sheath material!

Wow! That’s a lot of sheath material!

I know right? I was scratching them off for a solid 10 minutes. She was in birdie heaven!

They look like they've exploded!! There is feathers everywhere!

Too funny!! I swear, there’s a new record for “how many feathers can I make mom clean up today” everyday here..

Yes! The budgies are exploding! Poor Mark looks especially scrappy!

My Budgie is spreading little poof feathers everywhere! I’m new to this so not sure if mount or not? (Also not sure if “poof” feathers are a thing or not!)

I have a whole flock (of 6) all in synchronised moult. Started with the (poof) down feathers about a month ago and right now they're shedding flights and tail feathers everywhere.
If I was saving them I'd be out of storage, but I still have to clear them up every day

Wish mine would do that, it's never ending here!
I am only collect white flights and tail feathers (so only Opal's and Snowflake's) and a couple very pretty ones like Snowflake's longest tail feather.

So many feathers everywhere!Mark looks better today, but so many pinnies! Parker has very few pin feathers, can you guess why?


(Answer is: Mark preens Parker but will not let Parker preen him)
