I have a question about molting. My little sun, Eli, turned 4 months this past Thursday. I've noticed that he has become increasingly agitated, which is a deviation over his normal behaviors. I've noticed that with this change comes increasing amounts of scratching, and he's now picking at his feathers. The feathers on his face have started standing as well. I started fearing that I may have a plucking problem on my hand. But I've been reading about molting. I see that they usually start around 6 months, so it seems a little early yes? He mostly has been picking at his tail feathers, but also occasionally picks underneath his wing and his area has become downy. Advice?
