how long do birds take to moult?

 

as long as it takes mate

all birds are different mate but they should be through the body moult by end of october with the primarys its more than likely end of november into december but could take longer if young have been on darkness.

Had one similar a number of years back now, but unlike yours, she never looked a picture. She always looked really scruffy. She dropped her flight feathers once a year in the usual way but was constantly body moulting right throughout the year, and I don't mean down feathers. She always had pin feathers showing above her beak and on her head. It was never passed on to her youngsters.

Non-stop moulting? Could that be a vitamin deficiency?
