Gussys been sleepy/lethargic all day, should I be concerned? It's beautiful out and birds are chirping, he hasn't moved since 7am when he woke up and did some morning calls. He has been on this perch with Oslo and cuddly all day. We all know Gus is the bossy, loud, climbing machine so this definitely isn't like him.:( Then again, I am normally at work at this time so this could be their nap time, I am not sure. Now, the even more important question: Can this behavior be due to him molting? I took some pictures of him (sorry ahead of time because they aren't that great of quality) and it looks like the feathers on his back are missing. Again, I've never been through a molt before so I don't know what to look for or what it looks like. I'm wondering if he is just uncomfortable and he IS in fact molting. Thanks in advance!!
Here's the pics (they are cute though aren't they?):
