Answer:
Hi,
Can you send me a photo of the bird so I can be sure I understand what you have? Email to [email protected]
Again, this may be diet related. If this bird mainly eats insects in the wild, it is hard to provide what they need. Feeding a couple of types of insects isn’t enough. When a bird molts, it should not be very obvious, other than the bird might look a bit rough, and you see a lot of feathers on the cage floor. When it comes to losing longer feathers, they only lose one or two at a time, or they would be vulnerable to predators, and not be able to fly properly to catch food.
Thank you for the update,
Brenda
