Strange molting gouldian...

Post by Vertdemer » Sat Mar 10, 2012 1:28 pm

Hi!
Some pictures of one of my gouldian, VDM1b who is the one with just one leg(result of bad open fracture...)
He has some white feathers on his chin and on tail feathers...I've remarked one white feather tail some weeks ago :shock: but the feather quickly fall and I was just thinking I was wrong about what I've saw :? but and other white feather tail comes out :o and this time, I've made pictures... 8) this other white feather tail falls out not long time after...

Anyone see that kind of strange molting pattern???[quote][/quote]

Was the gould plucked at some point? Those spots are where my finches will pluck each other and then the feathers grow back white colored.
