Joanne,

Here are pics taken some time ago last year when Chuckie went through a molt. In the first pic where he is on the Parrot Tower you will see his feathers look ragged, his belly had a small bald spot & the coloring is not as vibrant. In the second pic (granted different lighting) you will see how vibrant the blue & green has come in when he completed his molt.

It is normal for some to look unkempt. Lots of baths, veggies & protein will help Nemo turn into a beautiful butterfly when the molt is over. Parrotlets molt quickly so it won't be as long as say my Congo Grey Max.
