All I can share is my own story...
The Rickeybird's feathers were raggedy and discolored for his first couple of years. By the time he got his big-boy feathers at around 3-4 years he was beautiful. Possible factors... conversion to pellets, stress of a couple of moves, family issues, young and stupid owner (that would be me, 40 years ago).
