Pretty preening parrot

[Kiwibird]

So, after I redecorated his cage, Kiwi put on a lovely display Please excuse the poor little fella's appearance, he's gearing up for a molt and looking pretty ratty Anyways...

Hey there mommy check me out

BIG wing stretch!

Oooooo yeah, that's the feather (check out the eyes!)

Can't forget those special places

And this preening session ended...poorly for Kiwi, with a most unwelcome snuggle from his daddy (kiwi looks just like this--->:52

Kiwi's such a doll I think his plumage looks immaculate as always! I especially love the eyes on the 4th pic. On the last one he does look like :52:! Too funny!

Take it back, the MAGNIFICENT KIWI could never ever look ratty! I agree he looks wonderful as always, the little darling!

I guess it must be me. He's got a couple wing feathers that have been bothering me for a while! He got some sticky fruit matter on them, and then the sticky patches went black. I hope he will molt them out... I've noticed he's starting to drop a couple feathers, so its getting to be that time of year!

This is how my parrot likes to pleasure herself. I guess they all do this?

She's a smart girl to use her own feather! Preening is how they groom themselves. Healthy and happy parrots preen every day. It should be encouraged too, it keeps their feathers healthy

I notice my amazon likes to preen when she is on my shoulder. I don't see her doing it that much although her feathers are in good shape. Maybe she does it when I'm not around.
