Hi this is Sushi who will be 1 in October and I’ve noticed her skin under her wings is white/fluffy. Is this normal? Is how her skin should look? I don’t have the best photos because it’s under her wing.

It does look a bit too fluffy... is she currently moulting?

Yes she was molting when I took that photo and I’ve noticed a lot of new feathers & some have gotten longer. I think she’s still growing her adult feathers. She turned 1 on October
