Posted January 17, 200718 yr Can budgies pretty much start a moult at anytime? I have two that have started to really drop their tail and flight feathers. Thanks Eric
January 17, 200718 yr yep, you live in the same climate I do so they don't feel the cold and hot like wild budgies they are in the house at usually a consistent tempature. I live in Ohio, and Merlin just finished molting.
January 17, 200718 yr Budgies can moult at any time and if you have several, chances are they WON'T all moult at the same time!
January 18, 200718 yr I've never seen a budgie moult too badly, so here is a picture of a budgie I may be getting... is this a bad case of a moult or do you think she may be sick? http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/Tige.../NewBird010.jpg Edited January 22, 200718 yr by Rainbow
January 21, 200718 yr Hard to tell from a photo. But if budgie is fluffed up ever so slightly, it could be a sign. Although remember you can always quarantine for 1mth and get him/her fixed up at vet. Most things are curable. But just be carefully re infecting your other birdies!
