Hi Everyone. I have a indian ringneck named voco and i have been worried about him the past couple of week because he has become very shaggy and most of his grey feathers on his chest are showing and i was told that he was going through a heavy moult but i don't know if that is true and i thought i would ask you guys. By the way i cant attach a picture but he is all shaggy and i know he isent plucking because i haven't seen him pulling any feathers out

They do go through a big moult so that is most likely all it is, however he should only look "shaggy" fo a couple of weeks so if it goes on longer than that I would be concerned. My boys looked HORRID and like nobody loved them during their last moult but came back more beautiful than ever :)

I have the same issue, there are little white/grey feathers everywhere! I'm thinking he is just moulting as well, he isn't to the point where he looks shaggy, but he's always preening himself.
