So, awhile back I noticed Apollo had lost two of his flight feathers, they were clipped and have since grown back which I was happy about because I want to keep him flighted. I assumed them falling out was due to him still being very clumsy and didn't get around his cage very easily then. But more recently I've noticed a lot more smaller, contour feathers and downy feathers scattered about. He was born October 13th so he would be about 4 almost 5 months old now. From my understanding that is way too young to be having his first molt... correct?
Maybe he just doesn't get how to groom properly yet and is being a tad too rough? Is that relatively common in young babies? Could it be something else? This is my first time raising a bird from such a young age so I don't really know what the norm is for babies ;A;
