How often does your bird molt and what kind of bird do you own?
Check out my bird pet care series Pet Bird Care Videos: czcams.com/play/PL6uTBIckTWD4J1cnc0gdxqtu-HgQw3fDl.html
I wish i had a bird 😣😣😣
My bird is a green cheek conure and she molt’s once a year around fall to summer.
That's good to know as each species molts at certain times or only once or twice or more.
I own 2 budgies and they molt about twice a year. I find it adorable when my birdies preen each other's faces. How often do blood feathers happen? I've had one of my birdies for almost 5 years and I've never had one.
It may never happen at all and sometimes only happens once in a lifetime.
I have 6 Budgies and they are molting like mad! when I'm cleaning I just quietly think to myself..."I could make a macaw out of all these feathers..." I love them all so much I put up with anything they do lol cheeky little guys.. ^-^
Molting like mad. You should trademark that.
Azumi - cheeky little devils, I have four !
that is so funny! after we got our Amazon and then later on after we got two more and two cockatoos I always saved the feathers, they are so precious and beautiful! grandchildren take some home and I used some to decorate an Aztec costume I made for an artist doll, but I still have hundreds. eBay but my husband finally asked me why I was saving them and I said, "To make another bird of course!"
unfortunately, I have found that the feathers do degrade, start to break down after 20 years. so I have recently been throwing away some of the old ones.....
Jingles is probably one of the most gorgeous cockatiel's i have ever seen. I have a pearl cockatiel and she has bright yellow specs all on her back shes gorgeous and she knows it. just like your jingles! i am absolutely in love with jingles! That face... so precious!
Thank you, I told Jingles and he blushed, lol
Donna, we need to see the special food prep offered to moulting budgies. Also what healthy poops and NOT healthy poops...look like...
Also, what money we need to prepare for spending when taking a budgie to emergency Avian Vet visit !
So important to be financially prepared for vet visits! Some of us live 50 miles from a proper Avian Vet.
Yep... my 4 birds are molting.
One word
FEATHERS!!!
Edit: My budgie that molted the most died....
2 words=
Less feathers.
2 more=
Less mess.
I got a new one but he doesn’t molt as much.
JPs Pet nation 2 cockatiels and 2 little budgies.
😂🤣😂👍
Same omg and it feels like it doesn't stop 😭😭😭
They should molt twice a year and it’s ok, I am saying this cuz u was scared and I didn’t know it’s normal
My lil guy is 1 year old now and he's molting so much. He doesn't have any bald spots, but it looks like he should from how many feathers this man is dropping XD
I'm no bird owner but i just love it when i see birds in general preening each other. It is really adorable and also has a function. I also want to say thank you for enlightening me about blood feathers as i do not know what to look out for if a blood feather is broken.
Hi, nice to see you here. Glad you learned about the blood feather as one day you may own a bird or can help out someone else with a broken blood feather.
I’m so glad you put this video up, 2 of my bird tails feather fell off and I was worried sick. Keep up the good videos

Another great video
Great timing, as by cockatiel is going to start molting very soon.
Edit: my cockatiel
How can you understand they are going to start molting. Please do tell.
@@aysel_9955 before the officially molt they start losing fluffy soft feathers and they start itching and preening alot. They also shake off alot more dust/dander.
@@mariamd786 omg thank you so much i was wondering why she was cleaning so much and shaking off more fluff or whatever it is...
@@cameron5567 you're welcome, glad I could help.
Couldn’t you just change the word instead of “Edit” lol
Two of my female budgies just started molting
I love this video and my Bird Darla is molting and let me tell lots and lots of feathers that I had to clean up anyways good video!!
Thanks for this video so I know when my birds molt
Great information
Thank you .people are very smart, always keep telling the truth
I just love your channel I am learning from you so much bless you
I am very happy to hear that you are learning from my channel. A new video will be up in the morning.
@@Loveofpets I can't wait oh I love cockatiels I think they are the most gentle and loving birds God bless you
Thank you very much for the information. I was very worried about my budgies. Now I understand what's going on
Omg pickles and nugget are the cutest! I also have a little nugget (she’s just over 1 year old)
The Bourke's are gorgeous little parrots not as well known
Yep, feathers and feather dust everywhere!
This video is really helpful bc I'm getting two cockatiels!
Great
My cockatiel is molting right now. I have feathers everywhere 😀
She always molts in March and around September .
“ Today we are going to talk about molting”
Subtitles: *Today we are going to talk about mold 🎤*
Lol
Perfect timing; I have 4 budgies and at least 2 of them are molting right now. Glad that you described molting similar to shedding, I see lots of speckle flecks, as well as the flight feathers, tail feathers, and down feathers. I like how you pointed out the pin feathers; I notice the birds pecking at the other's head. You are right on in describing them as grumpy/lethargic and puffy due to the itching; I am going to be misting them with spray bottle water twice a day, since they don't do baths (they avoid the water in a dish). I got the 4 budgies one year ago and they started molting a couple weeks later. They were molting again in the fall. It seems like the fall molt has extended; I have been seeing feathers regularly for some time. They have been eating well and their feathers and colors look good, so I don't feel they have a nutrient deficiency. Could it be that during one month, one budgie might be molting and the others have not started?, thus, having 4 budgies, someone might always be molting. With budgies, how long should each molt last?
Yes, they can be molting at different times so it looks like they are always molting. Molting can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months and longer for large birds.
This was a great video. I really learned a lot. It was very frustrating these past couple months with my budgies showing grumpiness, lethargy, constantly itching and losing feathers, only to realize now that this has been an extended molt. Their appetites have been good and colors are nice. I have been misting them with a spray bottle and they seem to be tolerating it well; they don't seem to be squawking at me like they ordinarily would do anytime I would go near them. Also enjoyed watching your lovely birds; I recognize many of your budgies now (always good to see Jack Sparrow in the video). Seeing Pickles and Nugget preening is wonderful and your cockatiels Jingles and Willow show all of their beauty. @@Loveofpets
Thank you alot! I was so scared that all my 6budgies were sick. Instead there were molting!
I love you videos !!! I’m getting my feather baby today ! My little mans cage is all set up ready for him to come home
Glad you enjoy my videos. What kind of bird are you getting?
Love of Pets kakariki
Kakarikis are so much fun. Enjoy your new bird.
Sometimes my tiel will fly down to the ground. But when he molts and he flies down, sometimes he will land awkwardly on his side where some pin feathers and he wil S C R E A M
Ooooooh molting season! Luuuuuv it! Pfffft lol! I have a M. Too, you know that was sarcasm lol! Hey any1 ever make a toy bird from the feathers? Yep! Im bored :)
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Sooo cute 😍😍👌i too have a pair of cockatiels
Thank you for sharing. As a fellow cockatiel owner its great sharing experiences. I have just subscripted thank you again.
Do budgies moly a lot, of had mine for 3-4 years and I remember them mooting a lot. (I begin to look closer now) Recently, they seem to preen and scratch their heads a lot. One has pin feathers so I’m assuming their having a jolting week or something. Thanks for addressing the dandruff stuff, because I really got worried since 3 days ago one of my budgies was preening himself on my knee and I was wearing black pants. So when he flew off I saw white stuff, so I freaked out. I give them baths daily because of the molting
Budgies usually molt at least two times a year.
Oh my god thank you thank you I was so weird his feathers are falling and he is itching so thanks
I love how all your videos have been helping me, I was wondering how Marbles molted. My moustache parakeet is only 4 months old and I believe is starting his first molt. He only has a couple pins near his beak but is pruning himself alot and very full on at times but is only loosing a couple small feathers at a time. I've also noted that he's not eating his veg as much as he normally does. Any tips would be great as I'm finding it hard to find helpful advice on moustache parakeets. Thanks 😊
Hi, Marbles lost a few feathers at a time also and was very grumpy. She was very itchy and always biting herself. Give lots of showers to help with the itch and keep offering the food. Offer different foods.
hahaha, I just had to say that budgie molting is one thing but Amazon molting and Macaw molting is something else! are macaw used to come to me so that I could preen her neck feathers because they poked her in the neck!
but the worst offenders of all are cockatoos! they have three times the feather dust of any other birds I think. although macaws are pretty close. I often just give up.
I wonder if applying coconut oil when they go through the itchy stage would help.
I recently had the idea to collect all feathers i can find from my cockatiels first moulting and gather them by category in a little picture frame along with a picture of both for decoration ♡♡
That's a great idea!
My macaw gets the sheets covering her long feathers . How can remove the sheets. Thanks
What does a plucked feather shaft look like as opposed to a molted feather shaft
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have an African gray and it molt once a year
Do you think my cocktail is alright ?I know it’s 2021 but my bird is dropping a lot of feathers she usually stays in her cage then when I went down stairs I saw her with a bunch of feathers on the ground then she started to scratch her wing none-stop.There where feathers everywhere.
My birds are very chilled and don’t fly a lot but is there still a chance for them to get a broken blood feather because it’s their first time molting
+Love of Pets at what time do you wake up your birds? I too live in Ontario, up north, though. It gets dark early and stays dark late here alot of the year so I can't really depend on the sun to tell my bird when to be awake.
What does your night time routine look like? I remember you said in another video that some of your birds don't stay in the bird room. How do you put them to sleep when you and your family are still awake?
We recently got a budgie and he's kept in the livingroom where we spend most of our time which is great except for at night. I understand that birds need to sleep for 12 hours but being in a busy room doesn't make for a great place to sleep if you're going to bed before everyone else. I've thought about moving the cage at bird-bedtime but it's not a very practical idea. Things spill and it's not a very relaxing way to get to sleep. What do you think of putting a bird into a different cage in a quiet room to sleep? Can birds get used to being in multiple cages?
I love your videos :) you are well informed and it's clear that you really have a passion for your pets. Thanks for reading my comment. Any advice is much appreciated
Hi! I wake up my birds between 7 and 8 a.m during the week and sometimes later on the weekends if I sleep in. I have a bird room and I cover their cages and have a black out curtain on the window. In the summer when the sun is shining early, I have to make sure the curtain is tightly closed as if they see any light they start to sing. I am lucky to have a bird room. In the evenings I cover their cages between 8 and 9 p.m and close curtains.
I have 2 birds in my living room and cover their cages at 9:00 p.m. My family room is on my lower level so it's quiet upstairs.
A sleep cage is great to have.
If my set up was different, I would have a sleep cage and put it in my bedroom so the bird can sleep.
I may make an evening routine video in the future.
My 15 yr old cockatiel just went thru a heavy molt. Lots of feathers.. his appetite has changed.. not interested in his millet right now and fluffs up a lot..sounds like molt condition?
My Cockateil had a night fright last night, she rammed into the side of her cage before I got to her and broke a feather. She doesn’t have any other injuries, I made her walk to me after calming her down and she flapped her wings a few times and fluttered to me (her wings are clipped but they won’t be after she molts) it’s a tail feather that she can’t quite reach. What should I do? It’s broken about half way down.
Since we got my ringneck he's only molted once and its coming to the time where he's going to to molt again and I kept them all
my ringneck molts every three month or so and she lays two eggs twice a year .
Will my ringneck that is 5 months tail grow back it got plucked my another ringneck
Yes, it should grow back unless the follicles were damaged
How long will it take
It will take a few weeks to a month
I have two budgies and they molt so much FEATHERS...there is fluff everywhere and I basically have a rug by their cage now.
Is there any blood spots or blood when they are molting? I’ve a cockatiel 🥲
I got my Cockatiel about two weeks ago he’s 7 months old only feathers I see falling off are downy feathers is he molting or is he plucking or something please helpppp 😭
It’s my birds first molt and he won’t let me pet him to help get the pin feathers off any tips?
Great video with lots of helpful information! My flock of six Bourke’s are moulting now, and showing no interest in breeding yet. Do you think that will change once they are finished? I’m feeling discouraged that there is no bonding or breeding happening yet. The males have not even checked out the nest boxes yet. I have a friend just a few hours from here whose Bourke’s are laying lots of eggs already.
They will feel better after their molt. They usually are not interested in breeding while molting, give them time and hopefully they will make nice babies for you.
Love of Pets Thanks, D. I sure hope so. I’m feeling frustrated about it currently. Guess I have to be patient.
Oh my god my bird is doing it now!
Will you ever get a green cheek conure
be sure to give your bird plenty of time to dry out before bed. so don't let them bathe late in the day.
Please can I ask re moulting. I had to take out a feather last moult coz its feather came in sideways litterally 90 degrees to the wing. it was impossible to get the casing from the pin off, even after weeks to I think it was just a wrong feather. it was driving my canary crazy coz he was trying to pull at it but couldn't get it. he had had other deformed feathers that he broke off, so I removed this feather I must have caught another coz it bleed but I bathed it in salt water to sterilise and used styptic pencil on it till it stopped bleeding. its happening again this year. that one feather is coming in bent. is it still ok to remove it once its fully grown feather
I have a cockatiel and I don’t know because I just got her on Monday she’s so sweet ❤️🦜
Congratulations!
Thank you love your channel animals and you 🦜❤️
My birds feathers came out and there was a bit of blood not a lot just a dot but i was still really worried what do i do!!!! It was a full feather on his wing?????
He should be okay if the whole feathers came out.
would using blod clotting powder make it so you dont need to pull it? if not, should i use it anyways so they dont bleed out while i nervously try to do it or will they be fine in the several moments it might take?
Yes, you can use that to stop the bleeding but the feather should be pulled. You can take him to the vets or try pulling it yourself.
Hi! I have a question...my Indian ringneck seems like she is molting and when she is preening she yells a bit every few minutes .. have you experienced this with yours?
Hi, pin feathers can hurt a little bit and when they preen it can hurt them and that's why she yells. Keep an eye on her for any follicle issues or growths etc.
Can I pull out the spikes from the neck area ? He only got one spike
It's very sensitive there. If the sheath is ready to come off you can or just give your bird a massage there. If it hurts leave it be as it will come off eventually
hi thank you for such an informative video, I was just wondering what if my bird sheds a feather that is already cut at the top, exposing the blood when u squeeze it.
Hi. I new one will grow back.
@@Loveofpets oh thank god, tysm :)
I have 2 parakeets we call Hobbs and Shaw coz they are males and noisy like the movie characters 😂. I got them last oct 2020 and started molting around december they still do a bit less this time.
See I have a rescued sparrow and she lost her tail during a molt a year ago and it hasn’t grown back and because she’s skiddish, I can never grab her to check her tail though I know it bleeds from time to tome
My Senegal is going through his second molting and my GCC is going through her first molt! I have a question, do parrots molt there flight feathers too? *may be a silly question lol*
Yes they molt their flight feathers. The flight and tail feathers take the longest to molt and grow. No question is too silly. You can ask anything
Hello is it normal if your buggies are molting and one of its tail feather has a little blonde on the end
Hi, hope your bird is okay. Sometimes when new feathers grow there feather gets damaged and it could bleed. When a new feather comes in its full of blood until it stops growing. You can stop the bleeding by applying corn starch to the break. Some may clot on its own. If you see dried blood and it's not alot then it's best to leave it alone.
If you see fresh blood and it won't stop bleeding then the feather may need to be pulled.
Go to an avian vet or watch my video on how to pull a broken blood feather. czcams.com/video/VK3fsHUDgtU/video.html
My cockatiel will not touch anything else other than seed. He’s a seed Hound. I keep hoping he will eat fruit etc, but he acts like it’s out to get him and runs away and won’t come back to his dish. I’ve been trying for 15 years.. any ideas?
Hello I have a baby budgie I’ve had her for about three months now and I just noticed a bald spot on her belly /chest area but no where else is it just moulting or should I get a vet ?
Hi, it's hard to say. Did you get the baby like that?
I have a question so my budgie is going thru a moult right now and we had an accident an accidentally pulled out his tail feathers, almost everything is gone I checked no blood no swelling he’s good just like before however does this mean that his tail will begin to grow next moult since he’s already half way thru this one? Thanks and please don’t violate me about his tail it was a complete accident and I feel so bad but on the brighter side it could’ve been so much worse!
This happened 3 days ago fyi
hi my budgies wing is broken for 1.2 year... i
he loves me so much even k accidentaly broke his wing.. jts 4x straight up compared to other wing.. he kiss me talk lot with me but he cant fly.. is there any posibility i can repair his wing ?
Take bird to AVIAN VET right away !!!
I got two parrotlets 10 days ago from a guy. one of them is bald on head. the guy said it's because of change of season.there were few feathers growing on head but the bald one keep asking the other one to scratch his head and then the new feathers again fall down because of scratching. is it natural? I would like to know how I can accelerate the regrowth of his head feathers. any ideas?
Is the other bird plucking his head? If so then separate them and see if regrows. It could also be a nutritional deficiency, mites, bacterial infection, fungus or beak and feather disease etc. It's best to go to an avian vet to rule out disease or parasites.
i have 2 budgie but 1 of them are loseing fethers.
Ive only had my indian ringneck for a year and im scared for if he gets a blood feather coz theirs no avian vet near me and idk what to do
Hi, this video may help you. I show how I took care of a broken blood feather with my budgie
czcams.com/video/VK3fsHUDgtU/video.html
If you are allergic to birds is there some way I can still have a budgie ?.
Thank you for your very interesting information .
Hi, it depends on how bad your allergies are. It's best not to keep your budgie in your bedroom and make sure to have an air purifier near the budgie. You can also mist the newspaper when changing the paper so the dust does not stir up. Also wear a mask when cleaning the cage. Clean cage daily so that no dust can accumulate.
I have question my canary is singing but not loud what we should do
It's not necessary for any bird to sing or talk loudly.
I have an Indian ring neck who is only a little bit tame as I only got her in the summertime this year and she just had a wing feather come out and the end is broken but it is hollow on the inside (so it is not a blood feather ) shall I just leave it ? Or shall I do something about it
Hi, you can leave it alone if not bleeding.
Love of Pets ok thank you for helping! :)
Thanks for your tips
Could you please help to advise me on the take of the shama bird? The situation of the bird problem is related to the tail, it didn't grow after molting season.
The historical is "during taking the shama bird, I forgot to close the door on the birdcage, thus he throughout the cage and escape to the outside. Then he goes to the other birdcage and enters the top of the cage, unfortunately, he was stuck between the birdcage and the cloth cover and he could not get out. At that time another bird inside the cage attacked him. So that one of main tail has dropped (the longest tail). When I found out and intervened, it was all over => The result is the bird gets panic and loses the longest feather. Unfortunately once again he was escaped on my hand and flight to the outside, then perched on a tree branch to calm down and singing. I tried to catch him but cannot, until the next day morning I have catch him by a bird trap with many worm meal. ( We may calling is people die for money, birds die for bait.)...
After welcoming him back home, I tried to take care of him carefully with full foods like the worm, crickets, locusts, bird bran... and quiet rest. Just like that for a week, he started singing. So, I'm very happy when my pet regained the form. But life is not an as good dream, unstill the molting season comes. Unfortunately, once again the failed tail (the longest tail that failed while the 2 birds fighting) can not be gowned up, even though I was carefully taken care of him. With two molting times but the broken tail still doesn't grow back. This thing is made me very sad. Life would be very boring without a pet and a bird lacks up a long tail.
With this situation, could you please help to advise me "How do tail feathers grow back?"
I highly appreciate your help!
Thank you,
Hiep
This is my best shama bird that I take care of him within 05 years ago. And I have brought him to the birds singing contest many times, he also gets many awards for me
Here is the current video that he has sung a little bit with a "happy birthday" song, this sound is I taught him:
czcams.com/video/XQnhhuCKb6g/video.html
And here is the video of his is his natural sound
czcams.com/video/N2xpiVsKL94/video.html
I adapted my cocktails they were over a yr old they hate water what to do
Hi, here is a video that will help you to get your bird to bathe czcams.com/video/nmtBP-ycz7c/video.html
Very useful vid thanks, I was so scared my new Tiel was plucking, but she looks as scraggy as yours here. But that blood feather removal looked terrifying ! Is this something all bird owners have to do at some point or is it rare?
It's rare a blood feather may break but it's best to be prepared and know what to do just in case it happens. Cockatiels are prone to breaking blood feathers when they have night frights.
@@Loveofpets Thank you :)
It can be extremely traumatic for the bird, so it should ONLY be done in an emergency. Most heal on their own and shouldn’t be plucked. I’d imagine it would be similar to pulling off a human’s nail
My both cockatiels are continously preening their feathers. I don't know whether it is molting or not. They shred a lot of feathers a day. Is it okay for a bird to shred a lot of feathers a day? And also my female cockateil often scream when she clean her feather. Can you please guide me what to do. Any special food to give during this time :)
Yes they can molt a few feathers a day. When they molt it hurts so that could be why she cries out.
Offer a commercial egg food during molting. If there are bald spots it could be another issue.
My female cockatiel is molting. Is it normal for them to preen and come up with a mouth full of feathers? Feathers are everywhere.
Yes, when they preen feathers may be in their mouth.
Hi, and many thanks for helping us, I'm going to help a budgie that could walk normal and couldn't fly, i think he had a very bad owner, i have find out he has 5 feature in both wing that aren't normal, one of them was broken that i used your Video to remove it, but these 4 doesn't broken, just they are blue in the middle, and also don't grow complete, what can I do for this birds?
Hi, leave the feathers. When feathers grow they have blood in them. It could look blue or red. Only pull a broken feather that is bleeding if it doesn't clot by itself.
If the bird has continuous feathers problems it could be PBFD ( beak and feather disease) or other diseases. Bring your bird to an avian vet for viral testing.
@@Loveofpets thank you so much, you are brilliant
how long grow processor
