Yes, lorikeets do molt, which involves shedding old feathers to make way for new ones. During this process, they may lose feathers around their eyes, although it is not specific to that area. Molting is a natural part of their life cycle and typically occurs annually, helping to maintain their plumage in good condition. If feather loss appears excessive or is accompanied by other symptoms, it may indicate health issues that should be addressed by a veterinarian.

Do parrots lose their feathers?

Yes, mature Peacocks do lose some of their feathers. After about age three, they begin cycles of annual molting of their long tail feathers. This usually occurs in summer, around July or August. After each molting, the tail feathers will be longer and have more "eyes". They drop the feathers here and there around the grounds where they roam, making it easy to find and collect them if you are lucky enough to live with them.


Why do cockatiels lose feathers around their eyes?

I can't be completely sure because I haven't seen your bird. But, if your cockatiel is losing feathers on his body, he is probably plucking them out himself out of stress or depression. If he is losing feathers on his head, then another bird is probably preening him too aggressively. Either way, if it doesn't stop soon, I suggest you check with your vet on how to help him. :)
