Unofficial BYC Other Fowl Molt Contest - Three Prizes!

[shawluvsbirds]

I have a few pigeons molting lightly, I’ll try to get pics
My ducks seem to grow new ones as the old ones are shedding, and never really look too terribly bald. But I will have the camera handy!

My cayuga drake recently molted his flights. I happened to be watching when he jumped out of the water and flapped his wings to dry off and a bunch came out all at once.. he looked so confused

Not sure if this counts as molting but here is my cockatiel Slick from when he was a baby till now.

Spoiler: Warning” baby cockatiels aren’t very cute 😶🤭

This girl is looking a little rough. The picture doesn't really do it justice. My entire backyard seems like it has feathers everywhere.

Rosabelle's molt progresses.

One more from the back, since she posed so nicely

My poor girl Violeta Duck is going through a Damn Ugly Molt (DUM) right now, here is the video i took from her today - no she isn't wet and she hasn't played inside the grease drum and no parasites. And boy is she furious about everything:

Now the contest is asking for pictures, so i have extracted some from the video:

She is one of the Buff Orpingtons from the 2019 Spring ducklings, and this year hasn't been a good year for her, about a week ago she had an injury near her right eye that needed antibiotics treatment.

Oh, turns out I do have a bad molt.
