Hi Can anyone tell me if my boy is molting, I will try and get some front pictures of him as he looks more scraggly from the front.

It's possible.

I assume you're finding more feathers in his cage than usual?

I don't see any bald spot that indicate plucking, and I'm guessing you haven't seen him preening too agressively?

If he is, he should lose feathers evenly, and with the wings each side should lose the same feather within a few days of the other.

Thanks for your reply, its coming to the end of the breeding season here so I assume its molting time.
