Good morning!
My grey is coming upto 3 but i will never forget the sheer panic i had during his first moult. I have a parrotlet who moulted but it wasn’t half as much as the big lad.
I was super panicked about my grey plucking, and the lovely members on here have often reassured me!
I woke up one day to loads of fluffy white feathers then his beautiful grey ones started to come out. I was thankful for the moult because Bo’s breeders clipped him and i wanted his wings to grow back in.
Bo also plays with his feathers if he manages to get them as they come out, ive caught him a couple of times chewing a feather from his wing and or tail, i just take it off him haha..
Bo is a moody moulting bird, he is going through a moult now and he is horrible with my boyfriend. Bo loves me through his moults but bites everybody else, he is just an itchy grumpy dude!
Bo overpreens himself when he is moulting, i posted a worried thread this time last year going into summer with Bo having a patch of baldness on his neck where he had over groomed. I got some fantastic advice so now when he moults i take him into the bathroom with me when the shower is running for humidity for his skin, and twice a day i boil the kettle and fill a bowl in his room (when he isn’t out to grab the water) and place it near his cage for the steam.
Our new house he is right next to the kitchen so when it’s steamy in there from steaming his veg i leave the little door open
He gets baths every day during moult and every other day when not moulting, he doesn’t accept a bath all the time however i offer it non the less.
Also with his over grooming during a moult i buy him some shredding toys or toys where he has to untie them etc, helps him play with something instead of his feathers. He seems to appreciate these toys during moults and then when he isn’t moulting anymore he goes back to destroy mode!
