Molting and Blood Feathers

[caseyandmikey]

I have read a little bit about this process but I am a little confused on what I should do during this time. Do I have to pull out the blood feathers or do I just let everything happen naturally? How often does it happen? Thank you in advance and sorry it is probably a very stupid and obvious question to most out there lol.

Never touch any blood feathers which are wing/flight feathers and tail feathers. These blood feathers fall out during the year when they dry up and wither and die

These feathers don't all fall out at the same time when a bird molts. A bird only molts feathers that aren't blood feathers at certain times of the year.

Since you're unfamilar with blood feathers, if your bird has any problems with them, they need to be fixed or removed by a vet.
