😊 For those that don't know: It's not necessary or advisable to try to "preen" or pull the keratin caps off of pin feathers. When the feathers are fully formed the white covering will dry up and flake off. On larger feathers it does this in stages as the feather grows. If for some strange reason the bird needs help, just very gently brush their soft feathers with your finger. My parrot likes his head gently brushed backwards like this whether it's molting time or not. For the larger more stiff feathers just leave them alone. Regrowing feathers takes time. Showers may help if they enjoy showers, the water should always be room temperature. Proper nutrition always helps tremendously in general, this includes Sunlight or if need be full spectrum lighting- it's how they produce vitamin K. Pin feathers are the new feathers that grow in after shedding out old feathers, usually about twice a year. *while they're forming, they have a blood and nerve supply to each growing feather. If they're injured they will bleed and hurt significantly. So it's best to let nature take it's course. Again, this is for those who don't know about these things and in no way is meant to be unkind to anyone that bothers to read it. ✌🏽

Даже если бы это было полезно делать, то это жестокость! 😢 Никак не понимаю я вас!

For those who are curious: In the wild, birds have either a close friend of the flock or their mate preen the pin feathers, but in captivity, that job falls onto the human. Though when it comes to smaller birds, such as Budgies, you have to get a little creative with preening. I've never seen someone use a pair of tweezers to preen the pinfeathers before, but the bird seems to be extremely happy!! Not only does helping your bird preen pinfeathers feel extremely good for the bird, it can strengthen the bond between you and your bird even more!

What you're seeing is "bird dust" or more biologically correct, the keratin sheaths that cover the birds feathers. Once the feather has finished growing, those sheaths will come off with grooming. Since they can't reach those spots, like on their head, so us humans help them by gently using our fingers or small tools to massage them loose. It doesn't hurt and is actually a bonding exercise with your bird. Just a little factoid.

The bird looks so happy. I had a couple of budgies in the same cage as a child and usually they didn't get along well, but even in the heat of (playful) battle - they would take small breaks to nibble on eachothers heads x) so we never had to help the birds with this before

Satisfying to watch and probably even more satisfying for that budgie. My cockatiel lets me roll his pin feathers through my fingertips but my budgie isn't so keen to be touched very often so I can't imagine he would let me get close to him with a tweezers. The only thing I'd caution people who might want to try this is that you have to be careful because when the pin feathers first come in a lot of them are blood feathers and it can be dangerous to break a blood feather.

I am so, so sorry to hear that😢 I have had that happen to me as well. You never get over a loss. It is not your fault. Keeping a bird unclipped is what makes them happy because they can fly off whenever they want. It's also good exercise. Hugs to you and my greatest condolences.

@@stephencrook6277 I should have clarified: I don't bring my birds outdoors unless they are on a bird harness, or in a carry cage with the doors clipped with clothespins. My birds were lost one day when I was attending university. A family member decided to take my birds outdoors, but they left the cage door wide open and all my budgies got out. My birds were never recovered; my neighbourhood is teeming with cats that were very good at killing the hummingbirds and other birds in my yard and around the neighborhood. I was absolutely devastated.

"Aaahh, yes hoomim, that's the spot, continue" 😍

Awwww poor baby it seems to be enjoying all your help! ❤❤ I remember my moms budgie having a ton of pin feathers and he would sit there on her and let her roll his feathers forever he absolutely loved her!! He flew out the window one day and me and my sister went outside with his cage and called him (blueberry) and he came back to us cuz he loved my mother so much! ❤❤❤

Dude, you almost have a MILLION VIEWS on this video. I told you KZread was a good idea!

It was YOU!❤️❤️❤️ This channel is because of you! If you didn't suggest asking me to go on KZread, I never would have and would have been anonymous forever, just happily scratching pinfeathers in my dark little corner forever. But because of you, many people also get to enjoy this, and for that, I thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, thank you thank you. I never realized there'd be so many pinners out there❤️❤️❤️!!

If this bird had a mate the mate would be doing this very same thing

Somebody is definitely enjoying this :D

A beautiful and very well treated budgie. The eay he leans his head forward to let you get in to those neck feathers. Trust.

Aww, for some reason, watching the bird getting a head massage seems soothing to me, especially for the bird ❤😮❤

Aaaww I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I wish that my birds would let me use tweezers like you do on them. They freak out if I come near them with anything other than my hands. Your little budgie looks so happy! Thank you for this video!

Thank you so much for watching! I'm hoping to do a video soon about training your budgies not to be afraid of tweezers. For shy birds, I recommend spending as much time with them every day if you can, and move your hand slowly toward them with the tweezers. If they panic, just stay still and don't move, until they calm down. Once they do, move slowly toward them again. Keep the tweezers sharp end inside your hand at first so they don't accidentally hurt themselves! Especially let them bite the tweezers and explore it. Keep at it! Birds are smart!

Lol. He looks like he's in heaven

My parrot would bite the hecc out of the tweezers, what a good bond you two must have!❤️

What a happy bird. I've never seen one so happily preened by tweezers before.

Thank you! I've looked everywhere and haven't found anyone else who does it this way, either!

I made this for my Red-crested Moluccan Cockatoo. He loved it, sat very still and nibbled softly to himself. He then did the same to a strand of my hair. Greetings from Lorraine(border 🇫🇷 🇩🇪) ❤️

@@pinfeathersgalore Yes, we were very connected. Years ago I gave him to a man, who has a group of several cockatoos. He also has a flight hall with an outdoor area in his garden. No amount of attention could replace that. My heart was heavy, but full of love for him. I never wanted to see him again. He's doing well now, after 20 years- we talk on phone sometimes. Warm Greetings to you, and kisses for your sweet budgies from a purring gang mom of ten cats. Life changes.....❤️ 🐾 🌻

This is so cute. The fact that this bird is letting you do this is amazing. It looks like it's getting its dandruff scratched and loving every minute of it. I can tell straight away that no feathers are being pulled out. Thanks for the entertainment.
