Why do they

[Buster121]

Always be still for ages until all the feathers are in a nice pile then fly around scattering them all again

[Buster121]

If my neighbours heard me moaning at my birds every time they blew the feathers around they'd have called the men in white suits

I have couple corners where they gather naturally so I leave these until last, as soon as I pull them out into open the buggers start flapping and off they go up in the air floating all about then

Make a mattress out of them lol

Be a bit lumpy mate all those bones , oh you mean the feathers

[Buster121]

Thankfully they are slowing down now and not as many feathers last couple days

[Buster121]

not here Steve more body feathers than ever

Did yours start later than mine, could be the reason

[Buster121]

may have bred later

Possible

[Buster121]

Mine aren’t quite as bad. Most of the youngsters, apart from the later bred ones, have gone through the majority of the body moult and now only have one or two flights to go. The old birds are still heavy in the moult especially around the head and neck.

Mine started early so that's why mine bit further I think, have had latebreds moulting fully which never had before and most unusual I think
