Green Bean appears to be starting a molt.. ??? Numerous feathers, which seem to be healthy in appearance, are falling out. Otherwise healthy and talking as usual up a storm, very playful, health appetite; I just start getting worried when I see all the feathers falling out.
It's been happening for about a week now; probably ten feathers a day?Her flight feathers, however, appear to be growing again.
Is this a normal molt or what do I need to pay very close attention to as far as with the feather loss ???
Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, it is the time of the year that most parrot species are molting.....if you want to count them, most parrots will molt out and replace over 2,000 feathers, so I wouldn't worry about a couple of handfuls laying around.....
