Losing tail feathers
Im new on here and I have a problem. When I looked in my sun conure's cage today there was a pile of tail feathers laying in the corner. When I saw them I freaked out. She has never plucked before, and in the 5 months I have had her she has not lost many feathers, or more than a couple bigger feathers. I think she is about 8 years old. There were seven tail feathers in the pile and there was no blood on them. It looks like she only has two of the most outer tail feathers left. One on each side. Please tell me that this is normal when a bird is molting!
