😊 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. ✌🏽
Birds do need help with their neck and head feathers because they can't reach. In the wild other birds would do it for them. My birds loves getting head scratches and obviously the OPs birds do too.
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!
Thank you!! Yes! Thank you for explaining. Elly has 10 other birds friends but she doesn't want them close to her either :) so either she rubs her own head or I just gently release the feathers myself.
For people who think they are pulling the feathers off. They are simply removing the “caps” which is a soft white shell. Please don’t see this and think pull them off❣️
@@Zhak7 Social birds like this budgie have other members of the flock do it for them, like a close friend or mate. It's a social bond building behavior.
@@Zhak7 It is not useless, they need their pin feathers removed to grow new feathers. Sometimes people don't have multiple budgies so they have to remove them or sometimes budgies don't form close enough relationships to trust eachother to remove them.
My son has a bird and it'll sit on his tummy preening while my son sits on the couch playing games, then it'll fly away leaving it's dandruff all over him...not gonna lie, it super icks me out..maybe that's because the bird will also try to preen my son's belly button before flying off... The whole scenario... they act like it's just normal, and if I interrupt to try and talk to my son, the bird starts screaming at me until I leave the room... I don't get their bond but I respect it... from a healthy distance 😅
Thank you!! My dream would be to slowly break the keratin sheath at the base, and pull gently so it slides off without breaking...but with one wobbly hand holding the camera, and the other trying not to wake The Grump in my bird (she's so sensitive to everything!), It's hard to do so!
@@pinfeathersgalore you could get a little attachment tripod for your camera- there is even ones for phones too, small ones around 15 USD. Free both your hands if you so choose. That said I really enjoy your camera work too. Getting right in there. Very relaxing to watch, the birb is adorable
@@maryamu777they aren't sick. When birds grow in new feathers they have that cap on them that naturally sheds off/ what the person is taking off on them n the birds usually pick them off themselves but love it when a human helps them. They aren't in any pain n it's a great way to bond with a bird 👍👌
Alright!!! I can 💯 AGREE 👍!!! Wonder why I was watching this... Also wondered if the tweezer operator was acting as another bird... Seen that comment in here too. ✌️❤️🙏
Such a calm and obedient birb as if she's getting an haircut, loved this. My budgie looks exactly like this one and always have lots of pinfeathers, although I try to scritch him with my fingers when he let's me, it's never this precise, and he wouldn't stay calm this long. I'm afraid that tweezer would get into his eyes when he make sudden moves.
She's a real sweetheart❤️ aww what's your budgie's name? And I totally get it - my fingers are clumsy and fat, I could never be precise until I got the tweezers! And I'm always tensed up for sudden movements too.
@@pinfeathersgalore you preened her feathers so gently and perfectly. You have a steady hand like a surgeon. Amazing video, lovely little English Budgie. Budgies are the best.
@@pinfeathersgalore P.S. macaws are the best too. My top two favorite birds I've ever kept as companions. Budgies are number one best birds and my Greenwing Macaw is also the most perfect, imperfect bird ever. She over preens so she destroys her feathers. I'm constantly helping her preen herself.
This is so sweet and for sure the little budgie knows exactly what’s happening even if the viewers don’t. So much love and patience displayed in this video. Y’all made my day!
Thank you so much!! Yes, I realized how many people didn't know about this unique bird feature. When I think about it it makes sense, since it's such a niche little thing. Currently working on a PowerPoint presentation all about pinfeathers and what they are🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t know what preening was for birds until I saw this video. But what amazes me the most isn’t the preening process but how calm and trusting your bird is towards you during the process. And how they seem to be leaning into it. Shows the real bond and affection between you two. Very heartwarming.
I have no idea why UA-cam recommended this to me. I know absolutely nothing about birds. But I'm not even mad. This was so calming and peaceful. I'm off to check out what else you've shared. Subscribed!!
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.
@@pinfeathersgalore I agree. I had a male cockatiel a few years ago (whom we actually thought was a female and named him Sophie lmao) who died from a "cold", as the vet said. I still miss him. He was such a happy camper lol. Always singing or whistling. Used to drive my mom crazy haha. But I adored him. I misssss himmmmm Oof.
I had a budgie who looked just like this one. He used to clean my face from blackheads and small pimples with his beak, in addition to trimming my beard. I have to say - he was excellent at that job.
Oooh yesssss sometimes it hurts when they nibble at a mole or pimple! Haha my cockatiel's obsessed with picking off any blemish, which includes non-fully-healed scabs! Ouch! You must have an amazing beard if attended by barbershop birbs!
Used to do this with mine. He totally trusted me but the easier it got for me the less precise I became and I ended up sometimes taking out the whole pin 😢. It ended up in my bird trusting me less and I could only help him through the cage he lived in so he could pull away if he felt he needed to. I still feel very sad about damaging our precious bond. Rip Tjakkie.
Ooh, I'm so sorry to hear that. To be honest, I've also nudged against really new pinfeathers sometimes, especially during their summer moult where she loses 50% of her feathers and all the new pinfeathers grow in all at once. I hope you can forgive yourself for that incident, because Tjakkie still trusted you to let you touch him! You clearly loved your dear friend. Tjakkie is a beautiful name for a beautiful boy. Rest in peace, little one.
Красивый пушистик ! 👍 У нас живёт КРАСНОЩЁКИЙ КАРЕЛ , отбила от стаи ворон хотели её убить , на головке пёрышки так и не ростут , выдолбили клювами пёрышки до крови ! Но упала мне в ноги , убегала от ворон , поняла , что спасение это человек ! 🖐👍🌷
I never thought of using tweezers before! My nails aren't always long enough to pinch properly, so I accidently pull and get nipped 😭 I'll have to try this!
This is exactly the reason why I use tweezers!! My nails are never long (medical job) to properly pinch the Pinfeathers :). I keep my nails very short.
@@pinfeathersgalore Yeah, I have a very physical job so my nails get busted a lot. My green cheek is usually the one to nip, and her beak is a lot stronger than my cockatiel's!
@@pinfeathersgalore подскажите, пожалуйста, а для чего это нужно делать? У меня волнистик Чех и у него тоже это есть. Он очень похож на вашего. Ему 8 месяцев.
Yes you absolutely can❤️!! Lots of dye-free toys (preferably made of safe wood/grass), fresh fruits and veggies, spray millet, mist/plate baths, loads of attention, a place to fly to and fro whenever they like, and a safe home without larger predator animals like cats/dogs- they'll be pretty happy! Everyone's life is much sunnier with a budgie for sure :) they're little happy balls of sunshine encapsulated into soft, warm little bodies.
Wow. I've never seen a budgie so calm and trusting of a human like this! I've just about always had more than one at a time, so I imagine that's why mine never had this kind of issue. Always cute to see them preen each other.
It's never too late to start! I recommend seeing if they let you touch them with your fingers first - it feels so good to feel their little warmth and softness.
Ne güzel. Kuşuyla ne guzel bir güven ortami olusturmuş. Sahibi tuylerin kabuklarini temizliyor sevimli kuş da tuylerini kabartarak sahibinin isini kolaylastiriyor. Bayildim izlerken ❤❤
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.
Absolutely! Thank you for bringing this up❤️. I would also caution those to avoid any pink looking Pinfeathers, as those are still developing, and filled with nerve endings...thus are sensitive to even a slight touch.
YT recommended me here and I am living for this! I adore animal videos, and although I know little-to-none about birds, I can truly feel the trust and love here. Also, it was satisfying to watch this lil cutie. So calm! I have no doubt the preening felt wonderful.
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.
It was YOU!❤️❤️❤️ This channel is because of you! If you didn't suggest asking me to go on UA-cam, 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❤️❤️❤️!!
Not sure if he was grooming him or scratching him but the little birdie is so pretty and adorable so I watched it anyway,,, I wanted to see his little face, maybe next time....😊
Ash he’s sooooo cute fluffing up like that and he seems to be really enjoying the care your giving him. He felt vary stimulated I’m sure, and the tweezers were a great idea 😊
This gives me such joy to watch, I used to have a male budgie name Chewy but I unfortunately had to give him away after having my daughter… he used to let me massage all around his head and face when he was molting and he got fluffy exactly like this!! I never knew about taking the white parts off but me rubbing them seemed to give him some kind of relief 🥰Brings back such good memories, thank you
Thank you so much, and thank you for the sweet story about Chewy. Such good fluff memories ❤️ while it's sad you had to part ways, you love and cared for Chewy so that he would fit the best home. Thanks for looking out for him!

It is preening behaviour, so this budgie must trust them a lot
Ironically my tiel will ONLY let my fingers come close this way, she would snap at an inanimate object like this as a threat lol
Oh no! It's when they thoroughly bond with you (trust), they come bowing down for those. Maybe you just have to build a stronger bond first?
mine lets me do it, but not with tweezers💀
It’s like scritching bird dandruff!! He looks very satisfied!

Yea!! Single budgies tend to be calmer towards people than budgies in a flock.
My girl lives with a flock of 5 others so it's just her personality :)
I wish I would have known about this before 😩 I nurture my pets and I definitely will spend hours pampering my budgies like this 💕
Be careful
It's never too late to start! I recommend seeing if they let you touch them with your fingers first - it feels so good to feel their little warmth and softness.
Man got that fresh fade
Hahahahaha🤣
Ne güzel. Kuşuyla ne guzel bir güven ortami olusturmuş. Sahibi tuylerin kabuklarini temizliyor sevimli kuş da tuylerini kabartarak sahibinin isini kolaylastiriyor. Bayildim izlerken ❤❤
Lol. He looks like he's in heaven
love the way she bows her head
-now that’s precious🦜💗
Thank you!!
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.
Absolutely! Thank you for bringing this up❤️. I would also caution those to avoid any pink looking Pinfeathers, as those are still developing, and filled with nerve endings...thus are sensitive to even a slight touch.
Huh…..you learn something new everyday 😃💜
Helping baby how fantastic ❤
My birds love this. Even my chickens don’t mind 😊
What a cute little soul 🐦
Thank you❤️❤️
All those bits going down the back of that screen !!!😂
Such great preening! Bird loves it
I’ve never found myself so quiet and focused while watching a video 🤣
Me too! I totally got lost in it.
And when it ended, I felt like I just woke up from a nice nap lol!!❤
@@strashinsky Lol!! Awesome!
Hahhaah I LOVE IT!! So glad you guys had this reaction:D!!!
YT recommended me here and I am living for this!
I adore animal videos, and although I know little-to-none about birds, I can truly feel the trust and love here. Also, it was satisfying to watch this lil cutie. So calm! I have no doubt the preening felt wonderful.
I am so happy that you're here!! Welcome❤️ glad you feel satisfied 😊 come by anytime for a chat and more pinfeathers!
@@pinfeathersgalore your video is great! ❤ 🐦
Oh that bird looks so happy at being preened!! ❤️
looks like a cute pineapple
He seems to enjoy it. I like the fluffy face
Thank you very much❤️
What a great lil bird! So happy to be cared for!
She is the best bird for sure❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a cute and beautiful birdy.
he looks so chill with it what a cool bird
I love how calm this bird is. I miss mine so much every day. He flew away because I just could not bring myself to have his flight taken away😢
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.
The pure bliss this lil bird is in 🥰
No, it isn't
She did enjoy it quite a bit :)
@@pinfeathersgalore NO. SHE DIDN'T
My parrot would bite the hecc out of the tweezers, what a good bond you two must have!❤️
How precious. The parakeet obviously is loving this. You are doing what birds do so lovingly for each other.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Dude, you almost have a MILLION VIEWS on this video. I told you UA-cam was a good idea!
It was YOU!❤️❤️❤️ This channel is because of you! If you didn't suggest asking me to go on UA-cam, 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❤️❤️❤️!!
Not sure if he was grooming him or scratching him but the little birdie is so pretty and adorable so I watched it anyway,,,
I wanted to see his little face, maybe next time....😊
Dude, nice call
I found it a bit gross 🤢
If this bird had a mate the mate would be doing this very same thing
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!
Precious bird. I love birds.
Ash he’s sooooo cute fluffing up like that and he seems to be really enjoying the care your giving him. He felt vary stimulated I’m sure, and the tweezers were a great idea 😊
Good job. I missed our buggie. He was part of our family. Very unique and different look, light blue grayish and gray eyes.
Sorry, one of my budgies died 1 month ago
This gives me such joy to watch, I used to have a male budgie name Chewy but I unfortunately had to give him away after having my daughter… he used to let me massage all around his head and face when he was molting and he got fluffy exactly like this!! I never knew about taking the white parts off but me rubbing them seemed to give him some kind of relief 🥰Brings back such good memories, thank you
Thank you so much, and thank you for the sweet story about Chewy. Such good fluff memories ❤️ while it's sad you had to part ways, you love and cared for Chewy so that he would fit the best home. Thanks for looking out for him!
@@pinfeathersgalore he was my best friend and I wanted to make sure he had a good home even if it wasn’t with me anymore 🥺❤️
