Tycos_mom Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Jay I noticed in the thres where you welcomed the girl with her new Panama that you thought Salsa might be one I can tell you that she's not salsa has black toe nails a Panama has white toe nails. She looks like my YCA I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It does seem that not all molt are the same. Molting can be influenced by day light length, hormones, diet and the unknown. I have worked at Zoo's and volunteer at an Exotic bird sanctuary so have seen both the light molts and the very heavy ones and all are in the normal range. I have observed that a{Feel-good-000200BB} bird who is becoming mature will often have a heavier molt then the ones they have had in the past.

Greywings Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't think she should have those very dark feather on her wings either, hopefully those will be replaced with more normal color feathering as the molt progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
