Malting

Malting I have noticed only generally affect some species of bird and not others. It only takes a noticeable affect on my Indian Ringneck Parrot and Gouldian Finches with some individual being affected more than others. Some bird look terrible for a few weeks until their new feathers come in and they look like a new bird.

This years malt has allowed me to see for the first time on my young male Indian Ringneck "Tommy" how long it takes for the ring to develop around the neck of a male. It has been two years for "Tommy" which has always been assumed knowledge for  myself but this is the first time I have seen it for myself.
