Jingles Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Ok, a quick question for you all! We've had Jasper for at least 5 months now. I have never, ever felt a pin feather coming in. hardly seen any old feathers on the ground... Is this normal? He's starting to lose the down feathers... All the other birds i've had they are always growing new feathers... Thanks in advance!
Jingles Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 i should add he's about 13-14 months old
Dave007 Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 All birds will lose their feathers at any age. Dead and scaly feathers are what causes molting. As long as those old feathers are being replaced, there's no problem. If you don't feel the shafts, that's also no problem.
