894.0. "Cockatoo molting" by POBOX::SEIBERTR () Tue Apr 11 1995 15:31

    Hi!!  Can anyone tell me how long a Cockatoo will molt.  She looks
    terrible!  It has been going on about two weeks.  How often does
    this happen?  She's grumpy too.  
    
    Thanks,
    Renee

    The Molt could last a month or longer depending on lot of factors. Be
    sure to give her the proper vitamins and a good diet during the molt as
    producing new feathers puts a strain on the bird.  should happen once a
    year.
