Molting ?? How long does this take and what to expect after

Post by southpaw »

Was wondering how long that the molting stage will last and will the feathers have a deeper color when my IRN has finished molting?

Sanjays moult takes a couple of weeks, and he still has not grown All his feathers back in, New plumage is always more vibrant.

Remy has been molting pretty much the entire month of May and is no where near done.. he is just now growing his chest and wing pin feathers.. the ones that have barely opened are in a bright neon green color. This is very slow going... he is 9 months old now and had tons of pin feathers on his head just last week. He is still patchy and I expect another couple of months for him. I've only had him for about a month or so, but I'm assuming this is his first big moult. I've heard molts can last from a couple of weeks to several months.
