FEATHERING

Hello, my red factor male canary will be molting soon. He dropped a couple big feathers, so i know from the past he's a few weeks away from a major molt. I noticed last week for a couple of days he would sleep almost all day on the top perch or on the floor, with his feathers all fluffed up. He was still eating his L'AVIAN CANARY SEEDS, Cede red egg food, and Petamine. just yesterday he perked up and seems normal again. Is this a stress sign of the molt? Thank you
