here’s to hoping this will be the last black moult, I think with Mia is took 2 years(?) after starting to eat veggies before her feathers would grow in vibrant and stay vibrant all the way until they were moulted out. For the most part his feathers are doing okay, his tail and torso feathers are staying strong, but his head, coverts, and primaries keep fading out right before a heavy moult. Really hoping this is the last year for him, these feathers would have come in during his first set of bloodwork after we moved which showed high protein and low calcium which makes sense as to why they’d be more poor-quality feathers. Now all his bloodwork says he’s golden so for now it’s just a matter of his feathers re-vamping themselves one last time and hopefully they’ll stay strong right through to the moult.
