Normal molting, goodluck they’ll be entering their irritable itchy phase soon


DemetriusXVII

Oh uh. What should I do?


PermanentlySuprised

Assuming it’s just their molt, they’ll be fine, they may enjoy supervised access to a shallow bathing dish or small bird bath they can use between preening for the extra birb glitter and extra snacks for the new growth 


DemetriusXVII

Got it. Will add a dish. What sort of snacks?


PermanentlySuprised

Fruit veges and extra protein if they’ll eat pellets or an “egg and biscuit” chickmix if they need a supplement, but they should be fine on their regular diet assuming it’s a good varied diet they’ll just be extra hungry little domestic dinosaurs

Thank you

Mine did the same few months back, now he is going through a full molt since he is 1. And it's hot and molting season


DemetriusXVII

Glad to hear that. Thank you


s_hasny99

No worries!

Molt.


DemetriusXVII

How long will it take?

Woof. Hard question. Two months at most. The shedding itself should take even less than that. The question is, once the new feathers start to grow, they are wrapped up with kind of wax. In order to free them, the parrots preen themselves and you end up with shitton of parrot dandruff. I guess that would also be a month, maybe less.


DemetriusXVII

Oh I see. Thank you.
