Why is my peachfaced lovebird's feathers turning gray and getting puffy

Question

My peach-faced lovebirds have been extremely healthy and are rare because of all the different colors they have, all of a sudden one of them now has grey feathers.How do I resolve this PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Answer 1

Are your birds molting by any chance? When they molt some of the old feathers fall out and new ones grown in. During this time they sometimes look like they have tufts of gray feathers, they are the older ones falling out, it is totally normal.

Keep them on a good diet (not a seed only diet) and in a few weeks they'll look as bright and colorful as ever. Giving them ample opportunity to bathe can help when they're molting as well.
