Well, for the people who don't know, he's only five months old. I started seeing needle/spike/pin like feathers on him and I've read that this means he's molting and will get cranky. Is that why he's biting my fingers twice as hard as before? One bite drew a bit of blood. How would I help him with his molting? I put him near a bowl of warm tap water when I took him out of his cage, but he just drank it twice and refused to go in the bowl. I heard that it's easier for them to molt when they bathe. Sunny will not go take a bath at all. He's also addicted to sunflower seeds so I'm going to put him on a pellet diet starting tomorrow and use the sunflower seeds as treats. He spends about 70% to 80% of his time picking out the sunflower seeds.
