Is he preening a lot? I ask because though he's not old enough for his first molt if he's only 4 months old, if it's only a few white feathers it may just be him preening the down underneath his flight feathers. I say this because my blue Quaker parrot will be preening himself while he's sitting on my shoulder while I'm watching TV, and then I'll look at him and he's got one of those little white down feathers hanging off of his beak. Before I know it I'll see them floating around the room. Add the tumbleweeds made of my cattle dog's undercoat that blow past the couch and it's like cleaning up a zoo...
