Losing small feathers?

[Cinnyminis]

Radar has not molted yet, he is 14 moths old. I think he may have lost maybe 2 big feathers in the past two weeks, but I was just scratching him and a bunch of smaller feathers came out in my hand. Not in big clumps, but randomly. I noticed more on the floor when I was cleaning today- but no big feathers. It also looks like he has new red ones growing in. Is this typical of a molt? I have been waiting for it.

This is pretty normal..especially if he has been clipped.. As long as you don't find him playing with his big feathers or lots of big feathers on the floor..its ok..all greys shed a lot of small feathers and dander...
