Losing tail feathers, normal?

[RainbowRose]

This is Cleo and her tail suddenly looks like this. I notice she has been losing lots of feathers lately and a few tail feathers, so I assume she is molting. But I've never seen so much tail feather loss in one time. She has little nubby feathers coming in but I just want to see if this is normal. She is eating, drinking, playing and active like normal. No changes other than lots of tiny feathers lost which again I presume is normal molting, and then a big chunk of tail feathers lost.

Everyone at my house is molting right now.

I've got feathers everywhere. Some of them are tail feathers...

Zilla is molting and losing flight and tail feathers.

She thinks I am crazy for taking them out of her cage and saving them!

I tell her Mommy has plans for those feathers you threw away, give me some more...LOL

I also found two tail feathers this week.

Oh okay, so I guess even though it's a little odd she lost a big chunk of feathers at once, this is still nothing to be worried about? She looks so weird without a long tail I was getting worried lol. I see her tail feathers in the cage but there's tons of tiny ones too. She seems okay though, I have never seen her pluck, she's always busy playing with toys or bothering Merlin. Lol. I'm just glad she doesn't appear to be in pain. Before Tiki died he had a TERRIBLE molt this past summer, god I felt so bad he just had pins sticking out everywhere I always feel bad for birds suffering from molting!

But I love collecting their feathers too!!!! They're so cute hehe
