Preening My Parrot | Sir William Gets a Massage | SOOTHING VIDEO 

Take a small toothbrush and gently brush the dead spikes away. My parrot loves that!

I've never seen such a large amount of pin feathers concentrated in one spot.

some good advice for preening birds if their pin feathers are ready but still sensitive: giving them a little spritz with warm water helps to loosen the shells, and gently brushing them with a clean mascara brush or toothbrush seems to work well to break the pins away while being more gentle than human fingers! :)

Does it itch for him? Do you see him scratching it? All of those in one spot gave me goosebumps.

I love these kind of videos I swear I get relaxed just watching them.

ohh my goodness no wonder he gets grumpy during molts, that's a lot of pins in one area! good thing he's got someone to help take care of them ☺️

😳 That's a lotta pins! Some not ready to unsheathed though, that's when he gets irritated. When they're ready to sheathe, it's itchy for them and love to be a scritched 😊

Sir William is such a handsome boy!

I’ve never seen them that concentrated in one area like that

Sir William: Ma I'm done with preening near my nose it's annoying and I rather tolerate KC than do this!

oh to be a cute little parrot having your feathers preened by a caring human

Do all ringnecks get pins in huge clusters like this when they molt? I have four conures and a cockatiel, but none of my birds have ever had a cluster like that-the pins are always spread out over their bodies.

aaaaaa the feathers are genuinely freaking me out D:

As a bird owner... this is the most satisfying thing iv ever watched 😂😂

I was doing this with my bird, and he looked so happy, so i wanted to know if anyone else was doing it. Its really satisfying to do and watch!

WHERE IS OUR SUPER PREENING VIDEO YOU PROMISED!?! IS IT COMING!?! I NEED IT! sorry but this was super satisfying, I couldn't STAND to see all of them all in one place, I'd preen like no tommorow. Please do video during big molt!!

Omg his eyes,so tender creature,god bless your birdie :).

love it when birds get their dreadlocks

How come he has a whole bunch in one area ? Because I always thought during a molt that they never should have a bald area.

Did he have an accident? That's a lot of pin feathers.

Those beautiful ghostly looking eyes !!!! Intriguing!!!!!!!!

i swear down, ever since i hot my cockatiel, every parrot looks like a dinosaur

Those pins just do not seem ready. I myself would have waited. I believe the pin coatings would have crumbled apart MUCH more readily if they were truly ready and also that he would very likely sit still for--if not demand--that you remove every single one instead of shying away from your rubbing like he did. I'm sincerely sorry if I hurt your feelings or if I sound like a total jerk BUT I just don't believe those are really ready.

The pin feathers are making me wildly uncomfortable

So cute parrot! Looks beautiful!❤❤❤

my tryphobia is tripping out rn 😭😭

What about using a hard toothbrush on his head as a brush? Maybe he would enjoy that, and at the same time, it could help remove the pins.

Perhaps you need to use a tweezer to squeeze each one of these pin feathers so the protective shell crumbles out, leaving a new feather. This way, it is much safer for the parrot as well.

So many pins! I wonder why all in that spot?

A nice shower or bath, I use my tub and sprayer nozzle. It always eases a molt! He may have lost feathers there all at once? He clearly loves that! Rio my 32 y/o B&G macaw will close her eyes and purr, that characteristic macaw purr! After a bath they come unglued this time of year. Parrots molt twice a year spring into summer and fall into winter. They typically molt a few feathers here and another there but not all at once. I notice my birds start the body feather molt first, spreading to head and neck while a few tail and wing feathers come out a a time. Water helps facilitate the keratin sheath removal once the pin feathers emerge and grow to length and size they will flake off easily. It’s a good bonding ritual you can have with your bird when you build trust.

Is it the new feather coming from that bcoz my parrot also started getting the pin feathers. So plzz can you explain me what it is ? Plzz

I love picking mature pin features

My blue fronted Amazon loves me squeezing his pin feathers to get them free. Sir William is such a handsome dude.

Can’t wait for my parrotlet to molt so I can do that😂 I find it so satisfying

Am I the only one that collects my birds feathers when they molt? For like… artsy craftsy stuff? …. I’m currently collecting some to redo an old dream catcher I have 😅

Aw what a sweetie! I bet that spot with all the pin feathers was a bit uncomfortable.

I just oddly wish i could pull them all right off

I can tell just by looking into his white irises how smart he is. He is at least as smart as a trigger fish. Tell him I said he's a bird-brain but I like him anyway..

I love how I'm seeing people make comments on here that dont even know about birds like you can have a bird fit around the house and be fine if the bird gets fat that's your fault for not feeding it right and giving it the attention it needs to thrive do your research guys before attacking people in comment sections

Is this what heaven looks like?

Hes beautiful ❤️

This sort of thing is why it's a good idea to have more than one bird if you keep parrots, so they can preen each other as they would in the wild. Otherwise their pinfeathers can become a problem for them.

this made my scalp itch

Ring necks are so pretty but the eye pinning spooks me lol.

Are these like dreadlocks but with bird feathers?

Haha he looks like he successfully treated male pattern baldness

OH MY he is molting! Does this happen every year?

I have a question, What's pin feather? I don't own a bird, so I don't really know what's a pin feather.

Thank you for this fabulous, high quality video!!! And nice music too!

Is he enjoying it or getting angry?

My God. My OCD is kicking in 😮. My cockatiels never have that many pin feathers in of free area!

Birds do love that prob why my grey and Meyers actually like me

I do the same with my alexandrines.😍helping preen them is pure heaven. 😊😚

My ring neck parrot is molting but he won’t let me preen him. He’s scared of me

he got a fresh new hair cut

My baby lovebird looks like he has pimple atm bcoz of the new feathers growing in at his cheeks I call him my moody tween :D

Seeing this makes my head itch😬

Hey I have a question that I’m hoping you can answer. I have a Quaker parrot that refuses to let me preen him, whenever I try to he goes to bite me. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

My parrotlet had two pin feathers on the head very close to her eye.. i managed to preen the majority of them but i cant get to the base of it... the base still has this skin left... will preening most of it do? or is it absolute necessity to get it from the base?

I like this kind of video

He's so beautiful Fuji loses all her head feathers when she molts haha

It’s honestly satisfying to preen a parrot but kinda annoying when they’re constantly moving although they enjoy it

He looks so soft

That dense patch gives he Tryptophobia

My IRN’s head looks exactly the same right now!

What happened to his beak? Will that heal in its own?

Some years back the comment section would have been filled with messages like "oh these things triggered my trypophobia"

What happened to his face tho ,why were his feathers like that ?

Poor itchy baby

What are those things on its forehead

I've seen ppl use tweezers just gently crushing not grasping anything

My guy rocking a pompadour.

What are those pin feathers ? Why do you need to remove them ?

I'm sorry but i think it's better to leave the pin feather to peel of by it self. I just afraid that the pin feather didn't ready and mature enough. I usualy leave the pin feather on it's own with my parrots and I just help them with some misting and showering :)

It looks satisfying when you crush them

😻😻😻sooo cute

God was drunk when he invented pin feathers.

How do I help my baby Cockatiel from helping for the pin feathers?

First? Love the vids btw

Oh my gosh I never noticed, where are his nares?

Pin feathers are extremely extremely sensitive and hurt if they are touched and preened too soon which is why when you were done he backed up and looked at you like WTF YOU DOING MAN?

I love his name

Ehhh, i would reather get my bird a mate to do their jobs,i see pegions do this all the time and they seem relaxed ❤️

What food or medicine u gave him for new hairs pls reply

The tAp water blocking his pineal gland 💩

if theyre darkish, dnt touch them, means theyre still filled with blood

I wish bird owners were taught more about how massaging them like that is very pleasurable in a very inappropriate way for birds

WHAT is this ? Like ticks ? I dont know, sry

My alexandrine is a female.can mr.william marry her?😀😄😍

Please please make another preening video ❤

It is looks very strange that he has too many pin feathers in one particular spot

cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! na gigigil na ako

Loved it

What happened?! Did you shave his head lol

unsatisfied that a bunch are left on after the video is over

that's uh that's a coral reef on his head

DON'T PULL THEM! Just brush them with a toothbrush and warm water, or pinch them

Wait what are those grey things on your parrot? 🦜🦜

Oh wow I didn't know this is what it was I always got rid of them for my bird tho idk it looked uncomfortable she did seem better after I took them off of her tho

So nice😍
