Long feathered food:
In order to make them molt smoothly, it is best to keep quiet, don't move, don't buy new birds, and don't let ADHD children come home to play. The older you get, the greater the molting reaction. Violent molting usually makes them want to sleep and be in a daze. Their small bodies need enough energy and nutrition to make new feathers. In short, the formation of new feathers and the quality of new feathers (luster, elasticity, etc. ) are related to the health of the bird itself and its usual diet. Therefore, the better the food and drink, the easier it is for birds to shed their skin. Of course, the "good" here does not refer to the pearl powder of delicacies, but to the correct and suitable food. The feathers replaced by malnourished birds are usually dull, brittle and easy to break and fall off.
Insufficient nutrition. Give 2 Lycium barbarum every month, not much.
Foods rich in silicic acid. Simply put, feather is a kind of horniness. How is keratin formed? It needs a lot of nutrients, among which silicic acid accounts for a large proportion. What food is rich in silicic acid? Cucumber. Pippi can give a small piece of cucumber every day during molting (don't give it when the human body feels cold! )。 In addition, there are melons, Sedum hirsutum and spelt wheat, especially spelt wheat. There is also quite a lot of silicic acid in millet, wheat and oats.
In addition, sulfur-containing amino acids play an important role in the formation of keratin. Wheat is its main source, so you should feed more wheat during molting. However, wheat is so hard that many poultry are discouraged, so you can soak it for several hours or cover it with buds before feeding it. Other sulfur-containing amino acids include pea pods, celery, carrots, fennel (*, etc.). Isn't it said that raw pea pods is toxic ... should it be cooked before feeding? Or use carrots instead ...
Iodine supplement: water chestnut (* This dish is similar to spinach in many aspects, delicious and healthy, and its oxalic acid content is not low. Please consider resolutely boycotting spinach's children's paper *) and red and white vegetable heads (* Blessed is Pippi in Russia *).
Zinc supplement: broccoli. Many birds don't like broccoli, so they can boil it in water for a while before feeding it. Remember, never add oil and salt to it (* explanation: adding oil is easy to indigestion, adding salt is easy to hurt the kidney *).
Because Pippi usually only eats a small part of fruits and vegetables every day, it is best to give them different foods every day, seven days a week, so that Pippi can taste a little of each. Gradually, the owner will find that the bird's feathers are getting wetter and wetter.
Nutritional additives:
If Pippi turns a blind eye to fresh fruits and vegetables or soaked seeds and doesn't bother to smell them (* this is more common in Pippi who was not taken care of as a child *), then the owner can try to add appropriate nutrients to his daily diet. The drugstore has a kind of silicate soil (please buy pure silicate soil without other additives). Please purchase and use under the guidance of a professional doctor or professional breadwinner.
There is a kind of tea called Equisetum, which can also be used to supplement silicic acid. This kind of tea can be found in pharmacies. Tea should be brewed gently, cooled and then fed with a little glucose or honey. Of course, you can also pick fresh equisetum and feed it to Pippi, as long as it is not a pesticide.
Note: If birds suffer from acute or chronic kidney diseases, please do not feed glucose or honey. Even if there is, please feed less so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys. For healthy Pippi, you can add a teaspoon of glucose or a teaspoon of honey to 100 ml of tea.
In addition, liquid vitamins can also be added to drinking water. But please consult a doctor or expert to supplement vitamins. Powders such as Korvimin or AviConcept can also be sprinkled on food.
During molting, some Pippi will be in a bad mood, have a bad temper, lose appetite, be listless and lose weight sharply. Then, move out all their favorite foods and make a long list. There is a kind of Dongdong called Su Sui, which is the true face of millet grown in nature, and it is an irresistible temptation for almost all Pippi (* friends who want to have sex with Pippi have their ears pricked up, so buy it quickly *).
Although Suzui always carries the title of "fat bomb" and experts always advise birders not to feed too much, Pippi can actually eat it once or twice. Moreover, the fat content of millet ear is much lower than hemp seed, Niger seed or sunflower seed. As long as you don't just feed Xiaomi's ears, it's no big deal, because birds usually eat too much and get fat easily. If the bird is too thin, or nothing smells good, get some millet ears to feed. Of course, it is best to add some other nutrients.

I am most worried about molting in France, because there is no good cure at present.
Supplement fresh and clean fruits and vegetables (refer to the link of 1 building).
Appropriately increase vitamin and mineral feed ingredients to speed up the shedding of old feathers. In molting, vitamins should be supplemented and protein feed should be added to further strengthen nutrition and accelerate the growth of new feathers.
In addition, carrots or vegetables containing carotene can be fed during molting to increase the depth of feather color.
Females are generally not as long as male feathers, but they are similar.
