Hi Guys how are all of your? well i asked some time ago a question about molting and someone gave an answer (thanks for the answer by the way), so i was looking where was my post and i did not find it, because i am really worry about one of my guys, so i am asking again, one of my guys is in what it seems to be a hard molting and the other one is loosing just a few or his/her feathers (something like a very light molting), now comes my question they are around its 15 months so is this normal? why i say he/she is molting? well my guy has lost a lot of feathers but there is no ball spots all the spots has pin feathers he/she had duck tail and now his/her tail is growing after this i could say i have a girl? i understand that the ring has to apper around the 2-3 years but i was guessing the first molt is going to be around the 2 years, i have google it and i found a lot of information but there is a lot of contradictions in the information somones says that there is one first young molt at 1 year and an adult molt later and things like that; so i came here where the experts are!!!!
!!!! and one last thing for how long i have to expect to pick up feathers from the floor? (at first was the wings and tail after that was the back and now is the head) so basicaly i want to know if this is molt and not any sickness and of curse if could say for sure that i have a girl or if i have to wait until the 2-3 years, i love how the rings looks but i dont know why i am a little more inclined to have a girl!!
by the way they have a healty diet: seed mix, nuts mix, penuts mix, lots of fruits and lots of veggys!
sorry about all of my questions but i want my guys in the best of their health since there is no vet avians here at my country,
thanks a lot for any help...
Alex
