    Nike preening

    Pretty boring but I love to watch her do it.

    Thanks,

    She sure is taking care of those pinnies. When she shakes herself off, you can see the remnants falling off. I wish my birds would stay put like that.

    I guess I'm spoiled, she stays wherever I put her.

    Casper, a blue fronted Amazon. Loves banana. Hates plastic bags and red coats.
    She is such a cutie, do you find that she eats more cuttlefish bone or similar when she is growing new feathers? I've noticed that Casper does, as though he knows he needs more calcium.

    Actually I dont give her any additional calcium, I've been considering it though.

    So sweet. There is something relaxing about watching them preen, isn't there?

    Great video of birdie self-maintenance . It's so nice that Nike is such a contented bird.
    He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

    Is Nike a very "dusty" bird? I notice the difference with my quakers, IRN's and cockatiels. The Cockatiels are worse than the rest and I believe that is true for the toos as well.

    Not really, and certainly not anywhere near like a Grey.
