    Millie is 13 weeks old and is into a molt. She's lost a few smaller feathers but today lost a flight feather so I'm thinking it's a full molt, which seems early to me. I've also noticed this past week that her break seems to be flaking rather a lot. She eats parakeet seed, chop and Top's pellets...

    Tofu just finished up a very big molt, still has a few pin feathers on her head but I was checking her out and noticed her wings are alarmingly uneven? I've never seen her wings look like this? She was clipped when we got her originally about six months ago but we haven't clipped her since...

    Hey guys! I'm new here, and my little p'let's name it Fletch. She's about 4 months old. My question is, how long is considered normal to molt for? I feel like she's been molting for about 3 weeks now. Some days i think she's almost done, but then the next, she has a head pull of pinnies again...

    Hi Guys, We have a young parrotlet, Bokeh, our first parrotlet. He is about four or five months old and seems to be going through his first molt.

    Milo pulled this feather out today. He is starting to molt but this doesnt look like any of the feathers that have been falling out. Its really scraggly and looks snapped on the end. At the end of the feather it looks like there is a little blood and perhaps a pus substance. Does this look like...

    Hi everyone - Milo was preening on my lap today and this feather came out. I wasn't watching when it happened so I'm not sure if he pulled it out or if it fell out. Usually when he preens little down feathers come out but very few. This looks like a flight feather. He is 4 months old so he is...

    Barley just got his flight feathers clipped recently at the vet, but his molt has progressed quickly, and now most of them have grown back in. He has reverted to being very aggressive and now has a lot of attitude because when I am going to put him back in his cage, he will fly away from me and...

    My +2 year old parrotlet has been molting for so long now, and his head STILL has pin feathers. I know I am supposed to help pick them off, but he wont let me go near them. I give him water to bathe in, but he doesn't seem to want to very often to make a difference! And he freaks out when I try...
