Why is your parakeet losing his feathers?

Many species of birds, including lovebirds, do something called "molting," which means losing their feathers, then growing new ones. Adult lovebirds do this usually twice a year. It's normal and nothing to worry about, unless your bird seems to be plucking its own feathers out and digging at its skin, which could mean it has a skin problem that needs to be seen by a veterinarian.
