Poor Athena 😢 Most of these pinnies are blood feathers. They're still newly growing feathers, especially with the blood still at the base. These are definitely not ready to be preened.
Ever since I found your channel, I've been obsessed! Great job providing relief to your precious feathery friends. Poor little girl is having a difficult mold ;-;
Byron appears to be done with finger scratching sometimes, I can imagine a finger might be huge and scary to some smaller birds. With a pet you don't know, I find asking questions rather than giving guidance to be the easiest way to open the dialogue around pet care, which is so personal to each animal
Just a quick question. I know nothing about the care of birds. Do you have to remove the pin feathers from the bird or will they eventually fall out? Thanks 😊
Birds usually live in flocks in the wild and have their friends take care of the pin feathers they themselves can't reach (head and neck). If your bird is alone then you can carefully help them yourselves to free the new feathers. If you don't touch them, the keratin sheath will eventually fall off with the bird scratching its head, but itll be irritable meanwhile as they are quite itchy.

Wow! I Athena is indeed in need of a head makeover and facial! She will be her beautiful self soon.
Yep, she's super rough and sensitive right now. I can only do little bits on her :)
My green cheek definitely gets moody and sensitive during molting! @@pinfeathersgalore
@@mandarr3853 yea! Poor birdies having to go through molts so often!
Poor Athena, that’s a hard molt. I think she’s a tad irritable. I don’t blame her ❤.
Thank u for posting these videos & helping your birdies .. it is therapeutic to everyone involved . I just know Athena loves her mommy
Oh yes please, more delightful media to help me relax and fall asleep to. 😊
I like how she still stays put even through all the "hey, not that pin. Ik, that one is fine. not that one, either."
I think sctraching with hands is going to be better for taking the pinfeathers off

I think you have not owned a bird before
at this point would grooming the the pin feathers by finger be best for the bird?
Good job, but please don’t forget those ones on her forehead.
birds also bond with their people when preening feathers done by fingers not an instrument imo
More of this plz 🥹
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She seems uncomfortable. Poor girlie:(
Do you know how birds works?

@@simplynel5318 Thank you for replying. Very much appreciated.
Frustrating! Does anyone know why she uses tweezers??
Why aren’t the other parakeets preening each other?
