My poor Louis is going through his biggest moult ever and again he's the only one moulting...all the other birds have lost a few feathers but Louis has lost so many feathers I could have made a feather mattress topper from them all.  He's been so moody and quiet, unlike his normal chirpy cheery birdy self that he usually is...be glad when it's over...my poor lad. Picture is of Louis before moulting.  |

If he's that bad H2O can you give him some egg. Boil an egg for 25 minutes, then discard the white and mash up the yolk. If you mix it with a little sweet-corn Louis may take to it better. Egg yolk gives them the protein they need while moulting. Failing that, you can buy various combinations of egg and seed, but I do feel natural is best. Poor little chap. Hope he feels better soon. He's a very pretty boy btw!  |

Thanks hun....he's got eggy biscuits and has sweetcorn every other day....he's normally such a big singer, what you'd call the Tom Jones of the budgie world (rofl)but he's constantly preening...have given them all a good warm water spray and that has helped. x

Louis certainly is a gorgeous boy. Hope he is back to his bright chirpy self asap. |

Spyro is like that at the moment too. He is a mass of pinnies, and a bit more dopey. I have to remind myself that he is only moulting, that he is not getting ill. |

Must be the season for it. Munchy's been hit hard enough this time that he's gone much quieter than usual too. Hope everyone else's buds are faring well |

Hope everyone's Budgies are ok...Louis is getting there, feathers are nearly back to normal but it has really taken the wind out of his sails this time...he's singing more and was playing with his toys this morning so we're getting there. x
