Merlin has them still too they won't go away (Laughing out loud), he is having a long molt this time around not bad just long

:) It will soon be over guys, I have a major moult going on here as well again. :P

All moulting here,even the rainbow lorikeet outside.Poppy is so bad it looks like he is bleeding above his cere.Only bird not moulting is my handsome Jangles.

Tim-Tam is molting very much and has lots of pin feathers above his cere, I thought he was bleeding and upon close examination I saw that one of the feathers actually bleeding :) I pulled it out and cleaned him as much as possible.

here are some photos of him

is that normal? and is there anything we can do to help them because he is trying to scratch his head with anything and I think that what cause the bleeding.

I have a couple of photos around on the home computer, but here's one already on Photobucket of my poor Fluoro having a 'bad feather day'!

Will try and get a few more when I get the chance to get online at home.

So what do you do with it? Do you just leave it? He's been always with Sara and she used to help him with his "Feather Do" but due to her illness He's been on his own. I suppose because it is a common thing, it is normal, isn't it?

Sometimes one of the budgies in my aviary will break a pin feather and bleed, but as long as the bleeding stops i just leave them be and they're fine. :ausb:

Arkady "popped a zit" the other day ie his pin feather broke and bled. He was fine, just had a little red dot on his hed.

I can't get too close to Poppy with a camera but here you can see the pinkish area above

his cere,lots of pin feathers!

Rocky has lots but they are hard to see as they are the same colour as her head.
