Default Molting?

Are your birds molting now? I read on two threads (if memory serves) that some members' birds are molting now. Is that correct?

My budgies have had weird molts all throughout winter, kind of on and off - whenever I think they're through they get more pins! They don't have any at the moment though. I'm wondering if the long and cold winter we've had has played a part in this. Their diet and exposure to light has been no different than past years and they've never had a crazy winter like this. Lulu, my tiel, has not molting this winter though.

Yes, a small molt for Ruby, but plenty of pins and needles.

We're not molting here. But I saw what appeared to be a second molt or a continuance of the fall molt in mid/late January, so we were dealing with sensitive blood feathers into February. Now we've got hormones.........but NO eggs......yet.
