Fluffy Feather Drop?

[Jaime1215]

Hello Hello from Percy and his People!!

Little man is doing incredibly well; such a bright spot in our lives. A little background, he’s now (as of yesterday) being switched from nutriberries to Zupreem fruit blend which he’s doing well with. He’s 17 weeks old now. The past few days he’s been dropping little feathers, mostly down, some “bigger” feathers that still have baby coloring and/or discoloration from bronzing/stress before we got him.

It’s between 80 and 90 degrees here and his “outside” cage is in a screened in porch. He’s only out there when we are or when we’ll be gone for a while (he LOVES his “big boy” cage and chirps when we walk towards the door).

Is it normal for him to be dropping all his “floof” feathers? He still has pin feathers on his head and neck, more seem to come every y couple of days. It’s just funny because he’ll preen and then have a fluffy feather stuck to his head or he’ll “floof” himself and tiny feathers go everywhere lol. He is not plucking/overpreening as I have been watching for that very diligently from the time I start noticing the feathe floof.

Her are some of the feathers that have come floating out today.

Thanks y’all!! Have a lovely day!

Yes. Those are his down feathers and they loose them when moulting as well as the colored bigger ones. Worry not!
