What are the signs that your parakeet is molting?

* Feathers everywhere. This is the most obvious sign that your parakeet is molting. You'll find feathers all over the cage, on the floor, and even on your clothes.

* Bald patches. As your parakeet's feathers start to fall out, you may notice some bald patches on its body. Don't worry, this is normal and the feathers will grow back eventually.

* Increased preening. Molting can be itchy for your parakeet, so you may notice it preening more often than usual.

* Lethargy. Some parakeets may feel lethargic or tired during their molt. This is because molting can be a physically demanding process.

* Changes in appetite. Your parakeet's appetite may change during its molt. It may eat more or less than usual.

* Changes in behavior. Some parakeets may become more aggressive or withdrawn during their molt. This is usually temporary and will resolve once the molt is complete.

It's important to remember that each parakeet is different and may experience molting differently. Some parakeets may molt more frequently than others and some may show more or less pronounced.
