Opening Parrot’s Pin Feather

Here is a video of what it looks like up close opening a parrot pin feather.

Rachel my Blue and Gold Macaw enjoys when I rub open the mature pin feathers on her head.

Education and care advice:

it’s so nice when they love to be groomed by their human companion. Rachel seems like a very sweet macaw.

People don’t understand how much a bird trusts you when they let you groom them! What a nice relationship with your macaw

[molamolalaaa]

It's amazing that they let you do this!

My parrot dont let me do this. You got a special relation ship with him.❤❤

Ngl this looks incredibly satisfying to do. I think this itches my chimp-type grooming instincts

[sethhorst]

I can definitely see the relief she feels when you help with the hard to reach ones, that's also some real trust

Omg, I had no idea they grew like needles. Like a rubber tree leaf, wrapped in a casing that holds a leaf inside. Mind blown.

Don't do that. The feathers have not fully developed yet, and you are already revealing them. The feathers will open themselves when the time comes.
