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).

Wow! How long has be been going black? Are the black feathers his first adult feathers? I'm thinking he will molt the black ones soon!
