disease or molt?
I have a female cockatiel. She is about 4-5 years old. We are currently residing in Dubai and it is winter here. I noticed that she bas been losing a large amount of feathers over the last two days. She has been displaying normal energy levels, vocalization, and eating. However, I did notice that her poop was a bit watery a few days back- which is turning back to normal now. She lives in the same cage with another male cockatiel who is a few years younger than her i believe. They do not get along too well. We had our budgie of 2-3 years pass away 4 months ago due to illness. I am worried if my female cockatiel is going through a disease? She lays eggs occasionally, although unfertilized. We give the birds multivitamin drops in their feed. We also have calcium and zinc supplements in their cage. Is it normal to lose a lot of feathers during this time of the year? She hasnt been around other birds so chances of her contacting bugs are also low.
