Birdie, my Lutino lovebird.
Well, my little Birdie is molting. It started on Saturday or so, and it's been losing at least two feathers a day (usually more). I thought I might share a picture with the forum.

I also wanted to know... should I change its diet at all since it's molting now?

Such a pretty little baby!!

We don't modify diets for anyone during molts... sometimes they are quick, sometimes they seem to drag on forever and you wonder where the heck the feathers can be coming from :) My budgie started a molt about a week ago or so. Had found 1 or 2 feathers, then day or so later he shook and literally thought he exploded, there were feathers flying everywhere :)

If your baby seems itchy or such, you can spray with some aloe juice just to help with itchiness.

Can't wait to see pics after new feathers, such a pretty baby!!
