5 month Eclectus, down feathers in cage!

[Burga]

Hey guys I'm a brand new member, and a new owner of a 5 month male eclectus. (Yoda)

Had him for a good few weeks now he's amazing, learnt to step up really quick, stopped nipping quick and loves all of us. I am concerned about finding down feathers in his cage though, I don't see him chewing or pulling, and it is only the grey down feathers. But I can't see any signs of molting! Has only started past week or two.

His age is 5 months approximate so could be a tad older.

Thanks in advance people!

P.S I've also noticed a thin line of balding right on top of his beak, which I'm hoping *fingers crossed* that he is starting to molt and maybe a MOJO molt. He is my first eclectus, previously had a GCC

Although 5 months seems rather young to me for an eclectus to be molting, it could be just that. Keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't rubbing his head feathers on anything.
