Tori - Pineapple Green Cheek Conure
Iā€™m sure that Iā€™m just not searching under the right terms but I canā€™t seem to get a clear idea of the whole molting process anywhere! I am a complete newbie when it comes to being a bird mom and am trying to educate myself as best as possible. I recently adopted a Green Cheek Conure that is approximately 4 months old. Iā€™ve been noticing more and more pin feathers popping up every day (especially around the face and head) and the last few days it seems like Iā€™m seeing more feathers at the bottom of the cage.

I guess specifically Iā€™d like to know:
1. How often should I expect her to molt?
2. How long does the molting process normally take?
3. Is there anything I can do to ease the process for her (extra baths, different nutrition, etc.)?
4. Any other molting advise is definitely welcome!

P.S.- Sorry if this has already been covered in another post!
