My bird is moulting!
My poor little birdy is going through a moulting period. He had some bald patches and there was an assortment of lost feathers all over the ground (I could make a pillow with these feathers - well, a very SMALL pillow).
Now he's growing in new feathers on his little noogin and he looks quite ugly (hideous) at the moment. He's got these "pin feathers" on his head that look like "individiually wrapped" new feathers (or as someone else says: stick like things that if you touch it, you can see that it is a feather still growing in). And for some reason, this really grosses me out.
