This is called "preening". When birds grow new feathers, they start to grow "pins", which are little quills with tinny blood vessels. When the feather grew all the way, the blood vessel retracts and the remaining's dry off. Usually birds are able to get rid of most of their pins by themselves but the ones in their tails, head and neck. In the wild, other birds would help them, in captivity, they need help. It's very satisfying and a great way to bond with your birb
Owner of 7 birds here! This is called a keratin sheath! It’s pretty like the equivalent to bubble wrap on a delicate package when the birds are growing new feathers it starts with having blood and it’s important that the new stem of the feather doesn’t break so that’s what the keratin sheath is for. It also helps the feather maintain shape most importantly it helps keep the epidermal appendages strong, tough, flexible and elastic. If ur bird lets u do this they trust you and if they really like you they will try to preen you themselves
@@maxymorzeszko8344 whoever you are. You just come on here to pretend like you know me, that’s sad. You poor thing. I hope your misery turns to happiness one day.
Hahahahahahaha! I can’t wait to go to IKEA. I’ve had so many people ask me have you been to the big IKEA? I said no maybe I’ll find me a Parakete there.😂
the amount of trust this bird has in their human is amazing 🥺 having them get a tail feather when the bird could get most of it itself, which includes turning their back to the human the bond here is beautiful ❤❤❤
Fav thing with birds was helping with pin feathers. You know those babies get itchy, and they can get cranky when they itch. They always thank you after ❤
@devsox1 - they usually break the ones off that they can reach themselves but in the wild they help each other preen their heads & the back of their heads :)
@@Couldntthinkofanythingbetter. Nope, cannibalism is eating the flesh of your own species...so basically eating the fat or muscle between the skin & bone.
That probably felt so nice to them. You can tell they have a lot of trust and love in their owner because of the way they just sit there and let it happen lol.
@@stapleparrot9628 only remove the ones that crumble off when you gently rub it between your fingers and if the bird is willing to let you help them remove them (like standing infront of you not running away, not in your hand)
@@MoneyMitrovic333 I mean the deadly plastic packaging and stuff, lol. And the industry that will aggressively do whatever it takes to prevent any change in this human culture of using disposable non-degradable plastic. Most people's logic is simple: It's the future generations a few hundred years later that suffer. So by the time the planet is ruined, their own generation is already gone from the planet. Right now we only have polluted seafood or lots of land foodstuff with heavy metals and microplastic...so lots of human beings in modern society getting sick at middle age onwards. Microplastic undegradable and choking inside your blood vessels and arteries, etc. If nothing changes at all, maybe future people can't even eat much seafood anymore.
It’s called a pin feather, and when the feather is growing it’s wrapped in a protective casing until the feather is ready. This is why birds are seen preening, to break off the pin feathers casing to free the new feathers :)
Eu pensei que ele tinha colocado um canudo ou algum material biodegradável para fazer o vídeo já que o pássaro coloca na boca não achei que isso fosse real
yup. aside from even the obvious like birds overplucking or chewing their feathers when stressed or anxious, their feathers are so much more glossy whn they are healthy and happy too in genral ..a bird will also show 'stress bars' on its feathers (they look like darb brownish horizontal lines) if its been thru periods of physical stress or malnourishment during that molting period. (they will go away when the bird molts out IF the problem is fixed though and the bird gets healthy and happy again) i had a lovebird baby (still have him, he's just an adult now, 2y/o, not a baby anymore) who i handraised and his first set of baby feathers had lots of stress bars because his mama-bird wasnt feeding him enough :( (hence the reason why i had to pull him and handraise him) he was the youngest of 4 babies on a first time mama and he was almost a full week younger than his siblings so he was a lot smaller and kept getting pushed to the back of the line when mama and daddy were feeding their young the older siblings would kinda fight for attention and climb all over eachother and peep loudly and they were old enough to be more persisten (almost a week old) whereas he was newborn hatchling and they are just squirmy lil helpless things who can barely move or lift their head , at that age the mom mostly just shoves food into their mouth but she was distracted with all her older babies. So yea i realized mom wasnt feeding him enough and puled him at literally like 2 days old (they will die quickly if not fed enough around the clock at that age- they eat every 2 hours) but so yea he had a rough start and when his feathers came in i noticed he had all these lines on them so thats when i learned about stress bars. He had his first big molt around 7 months though and all the lines went away. he's a beautiful little pied dutch blue lovebird now (you can see him in some videos on my youtube channel, along with his siblings. his name is Twilight- he's the one i raised from 2 days old. the rest of his siblings i also handraised but at a more NORMAL age you usually pull them to handraise around 3 or 4 weeks more just so they get used to and bond with humans. as opposed to where he NEEDED to be pulled and handraised or he woud have died :( )
I lived on a bird farm for a bit, and this is why birds will play with your ear and hair. Preening one another is a sign of affection. Even animals know helping each other shows you care
For those who don’t know, that crusty thing is called a feather sheath and it’s what a feather will grow in until it’s ready to pop. Typically birds can get feather sheaths off themselves, but sometimes need human intervention if they can’t reach or if the sheath is too thick to remove normally
For those that don't know, the "straw" is a keratin sheath that contains the feather and helps it push through the skin during growth. It also helps protect it while it's still growing until it fully develops.
So awesome! Almost like a Master Designer foresaw all the problems that would need solving BEFORE they arose. 😉 Oh wait, I'm sorry... We're probably seeing the result of Evolution at play, because it's totally logical that complex interdependent systems - AND the universal programming language(DNA) that coordinates them - just pops right into existence because an organism NEEDS it... But only after millions of years of rolling the lucky dice, hoping for features that WE KNOW they wouldn't even survive a single generation(or even a minute in some cases) without. Yup, that's gotta be the most fitting conclusion.🤔
@@simoneunc I figured people would be confused lol. It also usually doesn't come out in a full piece. It usually flakes off as the bird or birds preen the new feather.
That thing that the person took off of the bird is called a pin feather. In the wild, other birds will take these kinds of feathers off. Pin feathers develop for pretty much every single feather. Most pin feathers a bird can take off by itself. But when the feathers are on the head or like this, really far back on the tail, it requires assistance.
Reminding everyone- the owner is not doing this to a blood feather. He is assisting his bird in what the bird would do naturally by removing the dried case around the fully formed feather. He is not hurting his bird. If he was- the bird would Not tolerate it
Blood feather? First time i have seen that in these comments, what is a blood feather? Something ingrown/ wrong to keep the bird from flying or something? Sorry, have been looking into getting some borbs and am curious
@timiguire1145, a blood feather is a feather that is still being formed. It would be in a full sheath with a blood vessel supplying nutrition to grow the feather
@@timiguire1145blood feathers are feathers that have blood flow through them, and its very sensitive. My bird plucked their feathers, so I had to learn how to safely pluck his blood feathers so that he wouldn't pluck it himself when I'm not around If he plucked it at night, he could bleed out without my help. It is 100x safer for me to do it + I was advised by his vet, don't attack me. We tried to stop his plucking, but we had to just embrace it at one point and let him do it *safely*
this is called "preening" which birds do to themselves or to other birds usually as a bonding ritual. new feathers form by popping up as "blood feathers" where a capsule made of ceritin (same stuff your nails are made of) forms to help safely make the new feather. after its formed the blood and veins withdraw from the pin feather and it dries up like you see in the video. the bird knows exactly when to preen these feathers and it feels good to them hence why its a bonding ritual
PS they’re called pin feathers and they’re really extremely very itchy. They can get many of them at once when they go through a ‘molt’ when the seasons change. In flocks they will ‘preen’ each other to help ease the pain.
well that feather for a brief brief moment is maybe a pin feather… but pin feathers are usually smaller feathers that are prickly like a porcupine. while all feathers at some point have a blood supply the larger feathers of the wings and tail are quite dangerous growing in as they can bend or break completely and the bird can quickly bleed to death if it isn’t pulled out (think huge straw-like needle stuck in your vein …dripping blood quickly out of your body with little to no way to coagulate…a needle that size could even bleed out a human rather quickly). it is a major fear for most bird owners
The “chomps” always are. Ever have an “ingrown hair” before where it feels significantly better once you get the hair to break free from your skin? Similar aspect with birds and their feathers. Birds go through a bonding community effort or individual act called “preening”. Their follicles will build up overtime with these casings as well as when a new feather is grown it is encased to protect it. New feathers will eventually bust through the casing but still requires to be “chomped” to feel comfortable and have the feather back in all of its glory. When a bird is sick they’ll skip this maintenance and birds outside of a community will require human help ever so often. Birds that are experiencing trauma or anxiety will over do the preening part and loose it’s feathers. Regardless, preening is like a loved one giving you back scratches. Birds that allow their owners to do it have a deep bond with them to handle something that causes the bird much discomfort. The chomp is very much personal 😂
@@xenthiascientifically speaking, the macaw actually does this because there are special vitamins produced in the protective layer of the feathers protective layers, essential to the health of the bird, the macaw will also get very ill and will rage and get vicious if it doesn’t eat it also I made this up
I got gifted a rescue parrot who was 13 years old last year and he’s the first bird I ever had. A lot of stuff was trial and error for us. I didn’t know much about pin feathers in the beginning, I thought they were like my reptile shed and that I didn’t want to touch it too much, that it would come off on its own if I brushed up against it. He was so excited when I learned how to properly get his feathers
I had 2 budgie. It went horrible. Tbf I was a kid and for some reason my parents trusted me with taking care of them and cleaning their cage and stuff, which my lazy arse couldn't handle😂. I gave them away.
How do they get them off naturally?? Don't they bite n pull it off themselves? I think that might be what they're doing is pulling off that little by little, when they're always digging in their tail feathers
Fun fact: when you help your parrot shed it's new feathers they will bond with you! Also the 'straw' has nutrients, so it's safe for them to munch on 'em
Lol not quite. It’s not the old feather, it’s a new one. And the outside it’s eating is just a keratin sheath that protects the feather while it grows ahaha
It is actually important for bird owners to help their birds preen since in the wild they would get other birds to help them reach spots that they can't.
Only spot I know of that birds can't get themselves is their head and neck. But yeah, it's good when owners can get those spots for their single birdies. My bonded pair of Amazon's preen each other's heads.
Preening your bird is a very easy way for your bird to love you since it feels super good for the bird. Its like getting a haircut when your old hair is super knotted.
Above the neck is fine. Below the neck is replicating mating behaviors and your bird will want to marry you. It depends on the behavior of your bird but it should be avoided until you know it isn’t going to stress your bird out by refusing his advances when he thinks y’all are together 😂
Is this a regular thing that happens to you? What you are saying is totally UNRELATABLE. Imagine a girl having to get her hair cut because it is too knotted. She would not be too happy with what you were trying to do to her.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊❤❤❤❤😊😊
It is just calcium and nutrients used to help develop the wing, which their stomachs can digest, and reuse. The animal kingdom doesnt have 5 star dining, my friend. Only the strong and the stronger.
@@13Rxve Same difference. They function as a car, but fly. We have trains and ships that fly; those are called airplanes. We literally have flying buildings. Those are called space stations.
i’m pretty sure this will prohibit babies from learning that falling on your head hurts, so when they’re older and don’t have that anymore they could injure themselves more because they didn’t think falling on their head would hurt.
