Steevo Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 My young female African Grey Matilda is going through her 1st moult. It appears the silver tinged red feathers are been replaced with all red feathers. Is this normal ? Cheers, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I really don't know since I didn't have Timber when he had his first moult. What I do know is that I have had him for 8 years now, and his red feathers always come back red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Their tail feathers are usually red, so it doesn't sound abnormal to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNCAG Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Usually they say nutrition is an issue, but I've had healthy parrots with some weird colored feathers before. I think it just happens that way sometimes. Guess a lot can go wrong when feathers are developing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
