:ygbudgie: Hi Shell, welcome back! I think the folks that can help you the most are fast asleep right now so you may have to wait until morning. Shell am moving your post to budgie health so you can get some help.

I want to know more about this also, would a normal vet know? as there arnt any bird vets in my area.

Thanks

:ausb: This must have been buried somewhere and the breeders didn't have a chance to look at it, hopefully they will now.

There are different levels of French moult. I have had a few and have a routine to try and spot it. It seems to be successful.

 

I have French molters that are 10 months old and going strong. I have kept one for breeding. The ones i have had haven't been severe. Couple of runners that have grown there feathers back after a few months.

 

I haven't had a French molter in 6 months... touch wood Routine seems to be working. Oh didn't stop breeding just concentrated on doing it better.

hi and thanks

 

daz what do you mean by on doing better?would like to know more about you routine daz plz

 

Oh my bubbles just passed away 2 weeks ago he was my last french moult i thought he was getting better as he was growing back his flight feathers

I don’t know where your post has been Shell, as I have been on here every day & this is the first time I have seen your post. That second photo of yours looks like it may have more than FM. It has signs that it could be what’s called a Feather Duster too; it seems to have extra long feathers. These type birds definitely don’t live long, most of the FM I have had don’t seem unhealthy in any other way & have lived a long time. I notice you have read my post on FM so I can’t tell you much more. Most birds are suppose to get immune after at least 12 months, so you must still have a bird that is a carrier.
