Answer
Hi Renata,

Yes, spring time is here and that is usually the time when birds start moulting their feathers.  This is a normal process however, it can make them a little crabby.  Be sure you bathe him regularly (early in the day and make sure there are no drafts where he dries off) and be sure he's getting a good diet (pellets, small amount of seed, fresh fruits and vegetables).   Also be sure he is getting 10 - 12 hours of dark, quiet sleep every night.

Spend a little extra time with him at night before bedtime.  I'm sure he'll appreciate the extra one on one time with you.

I hope this helps.
