Pin feathers are incredibly itchy for poor little budgies, so they will rub their heads on their toys and preen each other to help the new feather come out.
Baths also help & my two little babies have been having lots of those lately due to the warmer days as well.
anyway here's a picture of Kirby's pin feathers on her head!
Charlie is being much more confident now, unfortunately he is also biting me more maybe because he isn't afraid, he can see Kirby bitting me, but the only problem is that his bites hurt while Kirby's don't.
he is responding really well to target training, and I know he knows what i want him to do, but often he will choose not to if he thinks its too scary, like if I move the stick to somewhere he doesn't want to go.
apparantly to stop biting its a good idea to move your hand while they are perched on you, so your birds lose balance (which they don't like) and therefor wont bite you because they don't want to lose balance. I tried this, my birds just hand on tighter... i can tip my hand upside down & they will hang on hahaha.
oh well I will keep trying!
see those little pin feathers on the top of her head??
Poor little charlie has them everywhere, his head, his cheeks even his neck!
