Help! Roster missing bottom of feathers

[650754]

I'm babysitting this Frizzkle roster and we noticed he is missing feathers from his feathers. He's being very active with his ladies so no idea if that's a reason.. any ideas? Both wings are the same

I think he mist be molting, it is molting season!
Check him over for mites, just in case.

When the farmer/owner returns, then address the issue with them.

Looks like worn feathers. You can look the bird over for lice/mites, if you find any, then speak with the owner about how they want to treat the birds.

I'm in Australia in winter... is that moulting season? They've just been done for mites 4 weeks ago

What was used to treat mites?

There's no magic fix for damaged feathers, either from mites or general wear. A bird will have to go through a molt in order for the feathers to be replaced. Depending on the age of the bird, it may be time for a molt.
As long as the mites are gone, then I wouldn't worry too much, he'll look like that until molt.
