Such a cosy baby

Hello everyone!!! First time posting here.

The first thing I’m going to say is that please don’t throw hate, or judge badly. The second thing is that we already have an appointment at the vet next week. Thank you!

Kali is a three-year-old female. About a month ago he began to move feathers but little by little he has become this appearance, full of down and with small areas without plumage on the top of the wings.

I’ll tell you a little about how he lives, and so you’ll have more information: he’s free from seven in the morning to five in the afternoon, approx. I work at home, so he practically lives outside his cage. She only uses it to sleep or if I have to go somewhere and I can’t watch her. It is an active bird, it likes to explore the house (on the ground, it has never been very flying, although when it feels like it it can fly perfectly) it has games spread throughout all the areas through which it moves, and I change them often. I make him alandous corners Around the house where you can find food to enrich your exploration adventures. He feeds on special pellets for forpus, I give him a mixture of vegetables and leaves that he can eat and from time to time the seed and honey bars.

It’s as usual. She is no depressed, nor aggressive, nor do I notice anything strange in her way of being. I haven’t seen her pull out feathers or wash compulsively.

As for the feathers, every year it gets made for a couple of weeks and then the new feathers come out and it becomes beautiful again. This time I see that she is getting a lot of cannons with feathers and those feathers are normal, but I don’t know why she is so disheveled.

Another detail is that he has only laid eggs the first year, the next two he has not laid, although he does not seem to have any kind of problem and the vet told me that that is not bad at all.

It’s my first Forpus, I’ve never had a little bird, so I’m worried about how it looks, I don’t know if it’s just a strong moult, or if something else happens to it.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you very much z!!!

New behavior. Peri is just about six months old.
