That bird is not moulting...... there are other issues going on there. People who should know better have advised it is a slow moult. There should not be that amount of feather loss on a bird in a moult. I have advised it is taken to a vet for analysis. Link to comment

Nibbles is moulting at the moment and has being sleeping a lot in the daytime, having a nap probably every 45mins or so. This normal for a budgie that is going through a moult, yes? Link to comment

After their first moult definitely When my budgies moult, I have noticed that their colours are more vibrant! :what: Link to comment

My boy is similar colour and he is going through a moult now (why I was looking at this thread). He isn't as bad as that poor bird but I was wondering if it were normal for the feathers to be so pinky/red...now I know it is so that has made my mind rest. I've bought some vitamins from the pet store yesterday and am treating him well, hopefully the moult will be over soon and he can be back to being his beautiful self...Im worried that he is moulting in the middle of winter but I'm keeping him out of drafts and in comfortable temperatures.

Now is a good time for protein.....mashed boiled eggs, and MOULTING AID available from all good bird stores. Normal vitamins can be more hit and miss Sometimes a moult can hit them so hard they dont eat real well. Keep an eye on poops for signs of not coping and always be prepared to add a warm lamp to make them feel better if they are having a real hard moult Link to comment

Will go looking for moulting aid, I'm glad you mentioned there was a difference between that and vitamins as I'd not been aware. Mashed boiled egg coming up for my lad for his breakfast this morning - thanks for the tip! He seems happy enough although he's more low key in his behaviour (not in talking though, he talks for hours). Link to comment

Moulting is not an illness, it just requires more rest. Link to comment
