I have a green cheek conure who is about one year and a half years old a lot of of his chest and stomach feathers started to fall since the 28th of January, and in the last two weeks also somr of his back feathers and some of his wing feathers started to fall a little bit. I’m in the Middle East. We do not have a lot of good vets. I showed one vet and they told me that it can be mites and that I should just keep the good diet and showering my parrot and he gave me also some sprays which I do not actually like.I am not sure is it actually mites do I have to do something about it because I had to ask some AI such as ChatGPT and Gemini and they told me that if I see new feathers like the new pins, then it can be a seasonal heavy molting and it could be normal and it could last to 12 weeks so I’m not sure can you please help

The vet also gave me some vitamins to put on my parrot water. I put it for a week. I change it daily and then stop it for a week and like that.

Please note there are no bolt spots. I cannot see the skin, and he’s not itchy. He eats normally. His appetite is good he drinks fine. He plays and everything I use pallets for his food, and for treats I use seeds. The pellets are Psittacus the mini one. These are the best ones we have here and also I try to boil some eggs sometimes for him.

I am trying to make him eat more vegetables he doesn’t like it.

The photo without chest and stomach feathers is the old one and the one with some small red feathers it was taking two days ago.

He is not stressed and he doesn’t guard the spots with no feathers and most of his time is out of the cage playing. He goes to the cage for food, water, and sleep.

I started giving him some calcium since I heard its ok to leave it in the cage parrots will only consume it when needed.

Is this normal molting?
