rogaine.

is he molting? Birds are supposed to occasionally shed their old feathers and grow new ones. Its a natural occurance called molting.

Of course it might be something else.

---

I think that means he is depressed or doesn't get enough attention. Maybe try to ask an expert on a pet site.

---

Is he "loosing" them, or "plucking" them? If it's "plucking", your bird has cabin-fever and needs to get out more and shown more attention. If they are just falling out.go see your bird vet.

---

If he is plucking them out himself then he is bored. Give him some toys to play with and a cuttlefish thing from the pet store to chew on. If they are just falling out for no reason he could have mites and you should take him to the vet.

---

he may have a bird fungus or molting ck with the vet

---

Usually a change of season causes a bird to moult or shed their feathers and re-grow new ones. its normal.

---

There are lots or reasons birds can lose there feathers. Like molting, plucking and even stress. If he is not molting, you should really check with a vet. Even if you think your bird is plucking his feathers, you should see a vet to make sure nothing is wrong.

birds shed their feather, this is called molting.

Is he just losing a few feathers (molting) or does he have large patches of baldness, like he might be plucking out his feathers?
