jjaura Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi everyone!! My male TAG Tau is almost 8 months.. I know that around this age they can go through their “baby Molt” he’s loosing down feathers like crazy but I’ve been finding the odd feather in his cage while cleaning for the last few weeks.. worried he may have started plucking..ive included pictures and thought I’d ask for opinions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaura Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I’d always like to add that he will be going to a vet next week just being a paranoid mom 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Doesnt look like a pucker. Feather loss is normal. Even more during a molt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Yeah, it looks like a normal molt. In the second picture you're looking at the new feather shaft coming in. I like to pinch those open for them, and they usually love the extra time that I spend preening them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaura Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Thankyou!! I always had birds around growing up but never went through a Molt solely on my own. So it was unsettling finding the feathers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Suggestion: Go to Walmart....they sell "Aloe Vera Juice". Spray your baby twice a week ( especially in winter when the air inside is dry) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
