When Do Budgerigars Molt, and What Are the Signs
Budgerigars typically molt in June–August for 2–3 months and again about four months later to grow winter down. Signs include frequent feather loss, poorer appetite with some weight loss, and moody, sensitive behavior. Because molting birds are fragile and parasite-prone, feed a varied balanced diet and deworm if you see red, scabby skin or feather-pecking.
