Some birds use it as a calming habit and then end up over preening in neglectful or abusive situations, which can make the bird stop producing feathers over time
IT IS!! I used to rescue exotic birds from abusive or neglectful situations and one of the ways I would really bond with them was preening. It was soothing for me and a gesture of love for them.
entitlement of feeling (morally) superior it's so irritating, under 25's are the worst for it for me lately, always gotta be right, even when they're wrong
@rainblue4789 I don't think it's fair to label a whole age group given that a lot of people on the Internet are anonymous so no way of telling whether something is their real age or not.

@@GamersInHellOnYt Oh god, the amount of times I've heard an older person say something objectively false but you're not allowed to say anything cuz "respect your elders"
this is actually a super important part of bonding with your bird. they do this to each other in the wild so it helps them associate you as a “flock mate”
(In case other people didnt know.) You can really help out your pet parrot with the pin feathers it can't reach, especially the back of their head and their face. If the pin feathers stay too long and become stuck, it can cause the poor birdie lots of discomfort and can even cause feather loss! If you have 2 or more parrots at home (and they get along 😅), then they will help each other out when it comes to releasing pin feathers. Also! If you want less keratin dust in your house, give your parrot a good misting in the shower it makes it way less dusty, and plus, most parrots LOVE a good wash 😂❤
For that last line: All I can think of is my grand aunts old parrots who dived into a bown of water and slashed around for a solid 5 minutes before she called them out and they froze in place. lol
Not to mention whenever they dry up and the feather is fully out, it can actually be kinda itchy to the parrot which is why they are always preening themselves. And sometimes there are parts they cannot reach which is why they help preen one another. And if you have a good relationship with your parrot, they actually will greatly appreciate you helping them reach the parts they can’t get as it is also a type of friendship building moment
Dorks!😂 When i got my baby parrot, he looked like a full on pin cushion!!! I dont know why people would get offended at a pin feather???🪶 Thats funny😂❤
Just people being ignorant about the biology of an animal they've never actually done research on, but for whatever reason consider themselves experts on.
@@HerbaMachinawhat? People hate it because of the way it looks coming out of the skin. It gives me chills. Has nothing to do with anything you said. She meant offended as in people freaking out about the way it looks. They weren’t passing judgment on it, kind of like when you see a newborn foals hoof for the first time. It’s just unnerving.
Love this, if you have a problem with picking your skin, having a bird molting is like AMAZING. You get to stim on your bird, your birds happy, and its a great bonding time
Nope. I have a skin picking problem, and I have a parrot. I've kept parrots for years and I love getting the new feathers. The problem is your bird doesn't want or tolerate the amount of preening from you that will satisfy your need to stim. I constantly have bite wounds in various stages of healing all over my hands because it is so hard to stop when the bird says stop.
I second this! Of course, people shouldn't get a bird as a primary solution and everything. But if you already have one, this is absolutely helpful. My birds loved that I would preen them as soon as they asked, because they are a little dumdum and don't understand preening each other. And for me, it hit just the right spot and kept the skin picking down (in addition to my other tools obviously)
The birds love it when you help them shell off the stubborn ones that are super dry but in hard spots for them to reach or just have been on long past they're due to bust out of the little shell!
Thank you for adding to an educational conversation, not just from the birds health perspective but also its effects on their owners, which i wasnt aware of 😊
Chickens also have this! I love crumbling the keratin shells off my hens’ necks, they love it! It’s like getting a good scratch in a hard to reach place
My bird looooved me helping with his pin feathers when they were ready (the ones he couldn't reach), he'd try to groom me by nibbling my fingers gently as I helped him
OMG has nobody ever cooked a turkey and had to pull the pin feathers out? Good God every man woman and child in America should know what a pin feather is! That's almost down right un-American. 😮 😜 🤣🤣🤣
Once, someone brought a parrot to my work and she crawled onto my head and started preening my scalp. It’s one of the best moments of my life and my hair was a mess. 😆❤
@ShelbyTheMacaw I think it’s a splendid service you are providing by telling people all the non-fun stuff to expect when you take on the responsibility (and HUGE EXPENSE) of a tropical bird. It’s work, work, work, day in, day out, and the amount of attention (play, keeping their minds active, and directing their energy in a positive way) is no small feat!
As someone who used to have a Macaw, thank you for sharing your time with your feather babies. I miss my girl every day and it's so nice to see someone who educates and also shows how much love these little babies can share
Did people get upset? This is why parrots and many other birds preen each other❤️🩷
"Did people get upset?"
One person did. The rest were merely parroting his/her complaint.

It's the internet, ofcorse people got upset.
"parrot leaf" nice, I absolutely love that. Combined with them being spawned from 'mango seeds' they're just a whole plant!!
Don't forget to peel the leaves occasionally! They need to be exposed to air to ripen
They also 100% sound like leaves
They are flowers 💐 😊
You are what you eat! ❤
🥭🥭
I used to preen my bird of pin feathers all the time, he loved it and he would ask for more preening because I think pin feathers are itchy.
They are. I suppose that encourages them to preen.
It’s a great bonding activity too since it shows that they trust you.
They also need to socialize and its a great way to do so.
I bet they are really itchy. They look it, preening would be pure relief 😊
Some birds use it as a calming habit and then end up over preening in neglectful or abusive situations, which can make the bird stop producing feathers over time
Preening must become addictive like us picking spots 😂
It even is part of the social interaction between birds
IT IS!! I used to rescue exotic birds from abusive or neglectful situations and one of the ways I would really bond with them was preening. It was soothing for me and a gesture of love for them.
I love preening my cockatiels. Not only is it fun to do and satisfying, but you also bond during it. ❤ I feel honored that my birds trust me so 😌
It 100% is!
Spots, lol. Sometimes they literally be just spots tho. Or sometimes nothing at all
Why do people jump in with an opinion when they’re CLUELESS? I had a parrot for 40 years, and there’s ALWAYS more to learn.
The internet in a nutshell

@@VinnyUnion What do you mean?
Birds preen each other to open up these feathers so it’s perfectly normal for the birds human to do the same thing! 😊
My cockatiel (differnet bird i know) was always begging me to unroll his pin feathers he was always kissing my hands while i did it too~
He was trying to preen you back!

@Marynicole830 yes it looks like it would be painful to the touch 😬
This is so fascinating. Never knew that about feathers but is so cool
Same with chickens..it's insane how bad it gets when they're preening
There's always so many feathers all over my room from my pet chicken
Love this, if you have a problem with picking your skin, having a bird molting is like AMAZING.
You get to stim on your bird, your birds happy, and its a great bonding time
I need a bird, STAT
But I can’t have one. I have cats. And that’s a commitment I am not going to make.

It's amazing how similar feathers and scales are to each other
That’s because feathers are a specialized form of scale iirc. Birds are dinosaurs, after all.
My parrots loved being groomed love this!
Yeah cause it's something they do with their mates...
@@Louiscare he fell asleep so often while being preened . It's just beautiful when a creature loves you that much. I miss my lil guy so much.
My bird loves when i gently massage her pin feathers between my fingers. She makes her little happy noises and it makes me happy to hear her.
Thank you for adding to an educational conversation, not just from the birds health perspective but also its effects on their owners, which i wasnt aware of 😊
Great bonding moment…clearing parrot pin feathers. Beware the “unripe” pin. Especially on hard biting parrots.😂

I love how it's sitting on you like a little cat 🥺. I miss my old budgie.
bro those feathers are beautiful! makes it look like a fire Phoenix or something
Your bird is stunning!! Those feathers are gorgeous
Thank you so much!
Those feather colors are STUNNING. I didn’t even know birds had feather that beautifully colored and patterned. They’re gorgeous my god
Beautiful bird ❤
Those feathers are stunning 😍
That bird's coloring is so pretty

Its literally parrot dandruff lol

The colours of these feathers are sooo pretty. ❤
People get offended with every miniscule thing these days.
People are really stupid too
I'm offended that you said that ;)
😑
I am in love with this bird's colours
Parrot leaf haha
His fiery color is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom used to have a parrot (from before my birth until like 2 years ago) and I always thought it looked kinda scary even when I knew what it was 😅
What a gorgeous coloration!!! ❤
Do people really get freaked out by that?
The amount of people getting upset at something they don't understand is wild
That must feel so nice to have those things removed.
My baby loved getting his pin feathers rubbed and cleaned. Especially where he had trouble reaching.❤
Everyone that got freaked out has never touched a bird
The colors on your bird is beautiful
Thank you 🙏🏼
I have a 6 year old male budgie, who also have hes molting moments to the point that he looks like a feathery Porcupine😂😂😂
Channels like yours are awesome. You teach people that having a pet isn't always easy. Research people!
Yes,I proof this is real as a bird owner
Parrot leaf is now my favorite word
Dreadlocks to Feather locks ❤
Parrots LOVE it when you preen them! 😊
Everyone on the internet is an expert 🙄
The colours! So pretty.
Wait do all birds do that or is it just this one?
A lot of bird species grow their feathers this way!
@@ShelbyTheMacaw oh thanks for that I thought that bird can do that
Such a gorgeous birb!❤❤❤❤
OMG has nobody ever cooked a turkey and had to pull the pin feathers out? Good God every man woman and child in America should know what a pin feather is! That's almost down right un-American. 😮 😜 🤣🤣🤣
I got an order of chicken wings from a restaurant once and a few pieces had tiny pin feathers still on them that I had to pull off
Of course an American had to make the growth process of feathers about dead birds...
I believe I heard that when you help them it's a good bonding experience.
Wait do chickens do that cause I was petting my chickens and I felt them uhhh pls answer
Yes!
Those feathers are absolutely beautiful
So the offended idiots never heard of pin feathers?
nobody was offended
@f0xybro. so in the first 10 seconds of the video she states it. Perhaps you missed it, the part where she used the word "offended"?

You can see how your bird is loving that you're preening him ❤❤❤
My bird LOVED preening, he always closed his little eyes and tried preening me back because he thought I was a bird too, it was too cute
