Why?
I have had her for a year now, she is now just over 14 months old, and she has only had very small molts.
She had one head molt at about 6 months, and she had her wings clipped when i first got her, but she still hasn't grown them back?
Every now and then i find a small feather, but not any big ones. I find this strange, she should have had at least one major molt by now right? Its got me worried, i did find some kind of disorder or something that parrots can get when they don't molt, but i cant remember what it was called, and i really wanted to look it up more :(
Is this actually a problem? I only noticed the last month or so that it has been so long without a normal molt.
 
Don't worry. She'll molt. Two of my Solomon girls didn't drop primary wing feathers until 15 months.
