Post: Silly question

Posted by Kelsey on 8/25/05

I have a silly question, and I should know the answer to it,
but I'm still going to ask hehe...

I have a young senegal that I got close to a month ago...she
has always looked like she wasn't fully feathered (just
missing a couple of feathers here and there) and her
coloring is different (she has just a tad of orange/yellow
on her chest, the rest is green, and her head is a grayish
green, leaning more towards green). I've noticed in the last
few days that a lot of her feathers are falling out (I've
watched closely to make sure she isn't plucking them
out)...so my question is...do they go through a molt this
early in life? and then get the rest of their coloring after
their "baby molt"?

Like I said, I know it's a silly question and I assume this
is whats going on but I figured I'd ask your opinions. Thanks!
