Share photos of your currently (or past) moulting birds. This is Billy at the moment. He's got a little bald patch above his cere, but I'm not sure I was able to capture it.

I feel so sorry for them when they are moulting. Dexter is moutling too.

I came across this blog post the other day - Bezukhov moulting in 2017. The embedded slideshow shows feather progress over 2 weeks. Link to blog post

Poor Bezukhov! I thought Mr Hibs and Squeak were looking rough a little while ago but ... yikes!

This was dearly departed Billybob, he always looked spiky like this!

Billybob was both stylish and edgy. Quite the look!

I have an old one of Munchy when he had a little bald patch with about 4 or 5 pinnies sticking out of it. And here's a more recent one of Indie.

Squeak is actually on the other side of a terrible moult, she has feathers coming through now. She looks terrible, in part, because she has no doubt been diving head-first into the salad cress. She always looks ridiculous after she does that. Rare for her to sit still for the camera, the girl is very self-conscious.

He'd say thanks but he's tucked up in bed
