White feathers

Postby SirHubi » Fri Feb 12, 2010 4:23 pm

Hello :)

When I look at Cookie he changed. Hes has got a lot of white feathers. These make him look tatty. I looked in photos on net and it looks like an early stage of moulting. However my bird is just 18 weeks old! Besides it is winter. Is Cookie really moulting, or is it something different? :senegal:

I don't know much about senegals but I have an Amazon that's about 1.5 years and he has just started molting.

Kili is 1.7 and I saw her molt a couple feathers but it looks like it either slowed down or stopped. I'll let you know if she gets back to it.
