Molting or Ill?

Post by Coop » Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:52 am

I have 2 goulds that seem to be "molting" on their faces (cheeks) only - is this normal? Did I just "miss" the rest of the molt?

It possible that you did not notice the rest of it. If he's eating and flying okay and just typically acting fine - then yes he's going through a moult. I have one male finishing up a moult now too.

Thanks! That's exactly how they're acting - seem fine in behavior but look strange. THANKS!
