Molting, Seasons & Year-Round Care
$55.00
Once or twice a year your budgie replaces most of its feathers, and every season brings a different risk. This is the keeper's year: what changes, what to do, and when a normal phase is not normal.
What's inside
- What happens during a moult and the behaviour changes that come with it
- How to support a moulting bird — protein, bathing, sleep, handling
- When a moult is not a moult, and what needs a vet
- Day length and hormones: the strongest lever you have over behaviour
- How to reduce hormonal behaviour and the risk of chronic egg laying
- A season-by-season table of what changes and what to do about it
- Heat, cold, humidity and bathing through the year
Who it's for
Owners past the first six months, especially through a first moult or spring.
