Parakeet molts almost constantly. I have two, both two years old, one molts every two weeks. Why?
What can I do about it? He is otherwise healthy, happy and playful. The other (I think) is female. Her nose changes colors periodically.
Both eat the same premium food, get minerals, egg supplement, fresh greens, and live in the same cage.
He IS a bit of a “scardy-cat” and won’t allow handling.
some times parakeets molt all the time…it could be stress or almost anything…sounds like your doing every thing correctly i would say he is just under a bit of stress as you say he is a scardy cat….my parakeet molted constantly and lived a very long time…maybe it’s enviromental birds dont like loud noises nosey pets or children…give your bird a place where ha can have a bit of privacy….

Norfolk Parakeet $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Norfolk Parakeet (Cyanoramphus cookii), also called Tasman Parakeet, Norfolk Island Green Parrot or Norfolk Island Redcrowned Parakeet, is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is endemic to Norfolk Island (located between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia in the Tasman Sea). The species was once considered a subspecies of the Redfronted Parakeet of New Zealand. The name Tasman Parakeet is used by Christidis and Boles on the argument that this species and the Lord Howe Redcrowned Parakeet (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae subflavescens) are probably a single species for which they use biogeographical arguments. Tasman is used for other species with the same distribution and they propose that name for that reason. However, the latter subspecies was not included in the genus wide phylogenetic reconstruction using DNA sequences, and the lumping of the species should be considered tentative.

Mauritius Parakeet $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Mauritius Parakeet Psittacula eques echo, also known as Echo Parakeet, is the sole survivor of the Psittacula species which inhabited the southern Indian ocean islands near Madagascar. Its local name is katover. Its scientific name change from Psittacula echo had recently found widespread approval. A wealth of circumstantial evidence nowadays suggests that the hypothesized Runion Parakeet (described earlier as Psittacula eques, based on a painting and hearsay reports) did indeed exist. The Runion birds were the closest relatives, and presumably conspecific, with the Mauritius ones. On the other hand, a recent review argued to maintain species status for the time being.
