She loves and trusts you, look at how dilated her eyes are! I also super enjoy both how she's turning and showing you where to go and the intense amount of pins you got off of her. I bet she was much more comfortable after this mega preen sesh. 😊
@@parishiltonASMR while you are right in certain situations, I believe that Athena's very happy. I'm taking the body language as a whole picture, like how fluffed up she is, as well as slowly turning her head to show the human where she wants to be preened next. She's also very quiet and leaning into the preening instead of running away. The human is also paying attention to her, especially when her more sensitive pins get hit. But I love that you care for the cutie too!
@@parishiltonASMR she would be fussy if she was in fear or pain. The way she fluffs up and tilts her head to the side to give better access to the cheek area shows that she's enjoying it and trusts the human.
i love how obvious it is that she enjoys this. shes on your laptop just hangin out, whenever she wants she could leave and you give her the opportunity to do so! i also like how when she started getting fidgety you ended the video, presumably to either stop or to be able to focus more on her. its clear how well you know your birds and understand their body language, and its really lovely to see the bond you have with each other. its so sweet 🥺❤️
@@pinfeathersgalore Haha, yes, you got me. I like to watch it. I always loved to watch my budgies preen (and open their pin feathers). But they didn't let me touch them so I could only be so lucky to catch them from time to time doing it. I always loved to sit peacefully with them when they had their preening sessions. They are long gone and now I have TH-cam. 🙂
A few days ago, I got to use everything I've learned from your channel about pinfeathers, to help a baby mourning dove that left its nest too early. It absolutely loved being pampered and groomed by my small gentle tweezers. Unfortunately, as with most wild baby birds that get abandoned or lost, it didn't survive for long. We did our best with what we had, but it was injured too.. I'm just very very happy and humbled that I could give it one last long cuddle and pinfeather pampering before it passed away that night. Thank you so much for sharing these delightful little videos. They taught me a lot and have brought me real joy right in my arms.
Aww. Thank you for grooming that poor baby dove. Was it a nestling? Nestlings definitely need special care, and fledglings are usually fed and cared for by their mothers outside the nest:) Yes, baby birds are extremely difficult to care for. A wildlife rehabber has the equipment and medical knowledge to give them the best chance at life❤️.
It's so good to see how she enjoys it. It's a bless for birds when they get preened from their partner or human. Thank you for sharing this long video. I watched it several times until the end and will always come back. Thank you for sharing those videos and giving your budgies lots of love.
Thank you so, so, very much for watching. It makes me super happy when people like you tell me that these videos help them relax and makes them feel happy inside. It's like a perpetual cycle of happy feelings all revolving around bird dander! That fact alone just makes me super giddy, haha.
@@pinfeathersgalore And it makes me happy that you receive many positive comments. :) Your videos are so satisfying to watch. 💖 My recent budgies don't let me preen them. :( My first budgie allowed me to preen her and she couldn't get enough. I'm looking forward to watch new videos from you and your precious budgies. ❤️
I love how alert she was at first, unable to ignore all the shittalking in the back, but the second you moved to the head... aaawww the way those cheeks got puffy 🥰
Awww, new sub, love these preener vids! Now I want to see a video about how you got them to trust the tweezers- my birds would never let me near ‘em with anything, lol. What a precious girl. ❤
You can try to find a rounded wooden tweezers or one with soft rubber over the metal. Just to be sure. If a bird gets spooked there is a big risk of it getting hurt. I have been working with birds for over 15 years and unfortunately as I like to say it, with birds, the devil is just waiting for an opportunity, better to be extra safe. Edit: also to be clear I often used very soft grip tweezers that are used for picking up insects as you can not damage the feather with those even in a bird jerks during "preening", and they also come with rounded soft tips.
So smart! Thank you for your expertise. I totally agree that birds can be very unpredictable!! I should have a disclaimer warning. I really hope people will take great caution with their birds and use your information!!
Thank you, I was alternating between complete relaxation and stress whenever the tweezers were near her eyes lol. They move so their heads so quickly and shake around sometimes, definitely dangerous
@@madisonscory1565 Try pet shops that sell reptiles. They have tweezers with blunt edges of various sizes. Even better if they are wooden / they have less strength than metal because wood bends easily, or if they are for picking up small insects like ants. These ones for small insects can't press hard at all and often have rubber points.
My two do this to each other, I always thought it was them “kissing” or just showing affection. Didn’t know there was an actual reason behind it! That’s so cool😊
Great method for getting the very fine pins near the nose & beak. Athena seems a little nervous at first but I think she calms down. The male budgie you had really loved this though :)
Thank you so much for watching! Yea, the tweezers are great for tiny pinnies! My fat fingers would never be able to do this. I have a few more different budgies that I'll get around to filming :).
@@pinfeathersgalore she's adorable and we can see how much she trusts you! I have noticed her beak, especially at the tip is flaky. Looks exactly like my own budgie's beak, who has mild liver issues and psittacine beak and feather disease. It's very typical sign for both of those diseases, so if you haven't already, i think it's worth getting her checked by an avian vet. Athena's feathers look very healthy, so my guess is more on liver issues. This is in no way meant to be an attack, your birds are obviously very loved and taken great care of.
When I was a child and saw for the first time how our parrot's feathers were growing, I ran to my mother crying: - Worms were crawling out of the parrot's head! 😂😂😂
I wouldn't trust myself with tweezers on a budgie. I'd probably scratch their little eye! 🙈 (Also, running my fingers trough their feathers is better than therapy. 😅) What you're doing with the tweezers is an impressive skill. :)
This is such great content, I never knew about the troubled things birds go through. You learn something new 🤗 Thank you so much, these type of videos really relaxes me to sleep ❤
Thank you so very much for watching! I'm happy that these videos relax you❤️. I have another little weird fact - did you know that some birds hunt by farting into the ground? Hahaha!!
Thanks for this video! I am a first time bird video watcher, had no idea what was happening here and now I have watched all your videos back to back. So soothing. Love the bonding and caring. Excellent way to start my day off work stress free 🥰 Take care!
Thank you so much for visiting and watching! It makes me super happy you find this soothing💗 hope to see you around :D Haha it's cool how the first video of birds you watched had to be this very odd, niche thing 😄💗
I love how u do this so very gently and I think it must feel sort of like a massage to the birds as they seem to enjoy it unless u try to get the wrong pin feather that don't need help opening then I think that nips them they don't like that bless u ♥️🥰
Omg. How therapeutic!!! Wow your gorgeous budgie is so well behaved. I have a green cheek conure 4 months old and I was unaware we had to do this. I’m dreading this, probably end up poking its eye out 😮
Thank you so much! Your conure is bigger, so def use your fingers. It feels better! Be a bit careful - conure feathers are quite "crunchy" and harder to release than budgie, lovebird, finch and cockatiel Pinfeathers :)
@@pinfeathersgalore peanut is quite small hes only 4 months old and about size of budgie..ive tried with my fingers but he screeches...this is terrifying.. im going to order some tweezers with a flat edge, hopefully that will be better
Why do you need to remove the pinfeathers? Why do they exist in birds and don't they grow out on their own? I don't own a bird and I'm just getting to know about this. :)
Hello. Pinfeathers are new feathers that a bird grows to replace old ones. As they grow they are protected by a sheathe which makes them look like a pin. When the frather develops enough to actually look like a feather, the sheathe pales and becomes soft snd easily breakable. It powderises with rubbing and slight pressure. At this point the bird usually uses their beak to preen, breaking off the sheath with their tongue. This is why birds are seen tucking their heads under their wings and into their body. However, the pinfeathers on a birds head cannot be touched by their beak, hence, the bird relies on their friends, other birds or humans, to preen it for them, The pin feathers do naturally flake off on their own, starting from the tip dowwards, but its tremendously itchy to the birds, hence the preening. Its fine if they dont have anyone to preen them, as leaving a pin feather to degrade naturally is just discomorting. If you ever end up in a position to preen a bird, look for those white sheathes and gently roll your fingers across them, if the sheathe is ready, itll just flake right off. If your feeling uncomfortable about this, there is little harm in waiting until you can see the feather sprouting out of the sheathe. A sign that the pinfeather is well on itsnway into becoming a feather.
Budgies are balls of energy! Athena is a bit older at 7 so maybe that's why she's calmer. How old is your birdie?:) Young'un budgies are always running about, haha!
Just found your channel, so chill and relaxing 😊 also to everyone freaking out about whether it hurts the bird: the bird would just leave if it hurt 😂 or bite the tweezers. They're clearly happy with what's going on!
Loooove the long version. I would love to see your preening work filmed by a professional camera full frame high res immense close up and on a tripod. I can see this channel grow over millions. Such a great job too again. Also quite liked the angle from the top of Athena’s head :D.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words!! I wish but alas it may take a while. It would be in my wildest dreams if this channel could take off! I mean, it is all about bird dander🤣 hehe And it'll be a while until I can save up for a good camera!
@@pinfeathersgalore Reading this back a got a little over excited maybe haha. My real advice would be to not rush yourself too much. You’re on to something great and direction is more important than speed. I would though recommend to experiment with improvisong some kind of tripod so you’re angle is fixed. Easy way to do this is to just use common objects like chairs, a ladder, some books other heavy things.. best would be someone else to film it though I think so they can move with your and the bird’s movement. Anyways… only advice do what you want with it :)! I can’t wait to see more :D
