When I mentioned to the vet that the birds were moulting again, she said they were clearly ‘seasonally confused‘. What a good & descriptive phrase! It may well apply to humans too, particularly in the UK, with our extremely changeable weather!
Here, we have had a series of mini-moults. It is never long before there is another flurry of feathers. Right now though, they are going through a ‘proper’ moult, with tails lost, wing feathers lost & pinny heads. Not to mention a bit of grumpiness.
However, despite looking like he has been pulled through a hedge backwards, Lennie is the one who tends to stay upbeat through it all, possibly irritating both Dalai & Perry more than he usually does!
Lennie is a credit – it can’t be easy to stay upbeat when the feathers are falling!
