Gouldian molting question

Post by pjohn » Sun Mar 12, 2017 8:37 pm

I have a 5 month old gouldian going thru a molt. It looks odd to me like white feathers around his eyes. He tilts his head to look at me. Thought it might be scaly face mites I felt it and it's soft. Do i use S76 around the eyes ....seems dangerous
Thanks

Are you sure it's not pin feathers you are seeing? I would not apply S76 near the eyes.
