Hello Dr. Rob, I recently acquired some finches. I observe that there seems to be some problems with them. My birds are shedding a lot of feathers lately and it isn't just one that is shedding, its like most of them. They are currently breeding, so I doubt this is a great time for molting. What may be the problem? Please teach me what to do. Thank you! Leo
