Is there such a thing as spring molting. They have feathers all over the cage. Is spring molting shorter than fall. And how long does it take for them to have a new set of feathers.

It shouldn't be a full body molt at this time of year, do you provide extra light to your birds? During a full molt they will lose tail feathers and wing feathers, a partial will only be around the head and neck and will be shorter.
