GRAY hair

Post by jane western » Wed Jun 13, 2007 7:25 pm

I have 2 lady gouldians one a red head and the other black head. they both seem to be getting gray hair or feathers on their heads. Does anyone know what is causing this?

Look closely - they're probably molting and what you see are the pin feathers coming in. They'll look whitish when they first emerge.
