Hi all,
Chibi seems to have lost all his tail feathers today.
He's already gone through his first molt and I'm not sure whether this could be a second molt or not.
His first molt was back in February, maybe March. I thought it was a little early for him to be molting again. During his first molt he lost his tail feathers maybe one or two at a time and always had some tail feathers present throughout the molt.
I found four tail feathers at the bottom of his cage when I was cleaning out the paper today and two had fallen out last week. I'm just alarmed at the sudden loss of four tail feathers. He looks like a little duck without his tail!!
He's acting normal- actively playing, singing, talking and eating just fine. I know budgies can drop their tail feathers if alarmed but I don't remember anything alarming him yesterday or today.
Should I be worried that he dropped his entire tail almost at once or is this sometimes normal for a budgie during a molt?
