I was just reading some threads about molting and blood feathers, I've had to deal with one before with mojo when he was around 6 months to a year old. Then I got thinking., i haven't seen him really molt. They say they do it twice a year, but I can't recall a time (other than his first molt) that he's lost a good amount of feathers. Lol now I'm freaking out. Last I went to the vet ( I thought he was sick) she said he checked out. What do you guys think

Don't worry about it. In the wild, birds molt twice a year with the season change, but indoor birds don't have the cues from the weather since they're generally in artificial lighting/temperature control. That means they molt at irregular times. It also varies from individual to individual. Some birds molt very heavily, others do it more gradually. Unless you're seeing poor feather quality, I wouldn't be concerned at all.
