We have had our GCC for almost 3 years now. Bought him young (at an appropriate age) from a good breeder.
My question is... He has had black tipped feathers on his wings (small green feather above blue flight feathers) ever since we got him! Initially I thought they were just weathered feathers and he would molt them. 3 years later and he has not molted them yet! He has molts his tail feathers, his flight feather and his head feathers, everything BUT his small green wing feathers.
Now, we do pet him down his back, but that wouldn't keep them weathered/black would it?? I mean we scratch his head and those feathers look like new.
Should I be concerned? Is there a way to stimulate or promote molting? If he is fine, I'm ok with him looking "a little rough." :20:
He is on the same ZuPreem Natural pellet diet with occasional fruit and sunflower seeds. (I'm just started to try to expand his fruit & veggie diet.)
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
