I’ve got an ongoing concern right now with my 4 month old female canary - lately I’ve noticed that it’s shedding an above normal number of feathers.  From a brownish gray(my sister used to tease me that Roxie(yes that’s the name I gave her) looks like a “mayang-bato”) it has now turned it’s whole breast yellow, and specks of yellow feathers can be seen on its back.  Great right?  First time owners always make a big deal out of everything that happens to their birds, so pardon me if I was a little carried away. 

This post is actually more of a question to FM breeders–HOW LONG DOES A CANARY MOULT LAST?  It’s been going on for weeks now and I think Roxie continues to lose feathers badly.  No bald spots showing though, and I’m trying to provide her more protein as advised by other canary sites.

Hope you can share your experience.
