The first step in molting a green cheek conure is to ensure that your bird’s food is highly nutritious. A high-quality diet will help your conure avoid stress, and it will also keep its new feathers healthy and shiny. As a bonus, regular baths will help your bird get rid of excess wax. With new feather growth comes an itchy skin, so your pet<\/a> needs a good moisturizer and a soft cloth to help soothe the itchiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A plucking incident is another cause of a heavy molt, so it’s important to watch out for these signs. If your bird is plucking feathers, they may be molting. This could be an indication of underlying health issues, so if you notice your green cheek conure plucking feathers, be sure to visit your avian vet for a check-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green-cheeked conures typically molt at least once per year, but some may molt more than once. Most Conures molt around February. However, some may not molt in February. However, if you want to make sure your green-cheeked conure molts properly, you can monitor the bird’s diet and environment to make sure it gets the right time to molt. Once your green-cheeked conure is healthy and well-fed, he or she should be able to do so as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the molt process is complete, your green cheek conure will have shed its molted feathers and start a new growth. The new feathers will be filled with blood, and these blood-feathers will replace the feathers that have fallen out. During molting, birds must replace 25% of their body’s protein. Without a proper diet, they may develop weak points and stress bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Does Molting Conure Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
