If anything like my Blue and Gold they will grow new ones pretty fast.
I'm amazed at how fast his body can produce feathers.

Parts of the year he molts more than other parts, but does seem to molt year round. Especially if he is playing rough and damages them.

I guess maybe the bigger question is how were they damaged?
in playing
in transport
being bullied by his partner
self inflicted

Good luck with your new kids on the block.

Congrats on the fids. What others birds have you owned in the past?
