Signs Of Puteh MoltingWhen a Puteh is subject to sudden change of diet/ inconsistency it will go into molt even if it is not the time yet for molting. Older birds need more fruit, they tend to develop too much “fire” with dry food and start to molt.
You will notice some of these:
a) Puteh becomes fluffy or 'fat' (sudden drop in form).
b) Small pieces of feathers dropping (plucking feathers every now and then).
c) Growing of white “hairs” (especially over the top part from neck upwards).
Maybe you should have set up its cage with all the niceties of "Puteh" life like; a cut of papaya, water chestnut or luffa during this molting period. Fresh water, dry food and cover its cage fully with a piece of cloth completely. Slowly you may remove the cloth raising it higher every 3-4 days till it finished molting.
During molting period, bathe the Puteh twice a day. (Rice water will help up the molting process). The Puteh will grow excellent brilliant conditioned beautiful plumage.
