Default All About Feathers-excellent article

http://www.2ndchance.info/molt.htm

This is well worth taking the time to read. I do not agree with his view on pelleted foods but the information about the birds physiology and how it works to form feathers and how daylight, seasons and hormones all interact is marvelous.

That is a great article. I was fascinated by some of the info about the pineal gland. I agree with you,though,about his recommendations regarding pellets. 75% of the diet??
