Athena - Extra long video

Hello everyone!
It starts off slow but here is a great #video of Athena having a good #front #top head #scritch! In this video we have a short view of how much dander is made on my laptop!
Also, many of you have been asking what pinfeathers are. I am currently on the process of making a video of what pinfeathers are and how they develop, so stay tuned!
Thank you so much for watching! Please like and subscribe for more of these videos to support my little channel.

She loves and trusts you, look at how dilated her eyes are! I also super enjoy both how she's turning and showing you where to go and the intense amount of pins you got off of her. I bet she was much more comfortable after this mega preen sesh. 😊

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you so much for watching!! I sure hope so❤️ I know I was super happy haha.

[@parishiltonASMR]

Dilated eyes could be from fear and pain

[@janaharvey-go8mh]

I think you have other birds. I wonder why they don't help each other with pin feathers? It is amazing how much she loves and trusts you!

[@kirkygirl]

@@parishiltonASMR while you are right in certain situations, I believe that Athena's very happy. I'm taking the body language as a whole picture, like how fluffed up she is, as well as slowly turning her head to show the human where she wants to be preened next. She's also very quiet and leaning into the preening instead of running away. The human is also paying attention to her, especially when her more sensitive pins get hit. But I love that you care for the cutie too!

[@VeraDonna]

​@@parishiltonASMR she would be fussy if she was in fear or pain. The way she fluffs up and tilts her head to the side to give better access to the cheek area shows that she's enjoying it and trusts the human.

[@PlutoDarknight]

Very happy to see such thorough "preening" done by the human friend.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Aaw thank you!!

[@mustakil2089]

He is not her friend. He is her human father

[@KT-ov6vd]

Just look at that face. She is such a trusting patient girl. And the way she moves her head. So cute

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@michellelemar1995]

She is so patient I just love her. ❤️ You can tell how much she loves and trusts you ❤️❤️

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Aaww thank you so much❤️ you are very kind!

[@WickieWorkshop]

i love how obvious it is that she enjoys this. shes on your laptop just hangin out, whenever she wants she could leave and you give her the opportunity to do so! i also like how when she started getting fidgety you ended the video, presumably to either stop or to be able to focus more on her. its clear how well you know your birds and understand their body language, and its really lovely to see the bond you have with each other. its so sweet 🥺❤️

[@music_only_in_hp6351]

[@Jay_Z.]

Goodness this is so relaxing to watch! If i could preen budgies for a living I probably would! Athena is amazing and enjoys the preening! 😅❤

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I wish I could preen budgies for a living. Scratch that even for free hahahaga

[@cazamatazz]

She is precious, I need all the extra long videos after this. So satisfying 😌

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you 🥰!

[@DuneDemon8]

You can try to find a rounded wooden tweezers or one with soft rubber over the metal. Just to be sure. If a bird gets spooked there is a big risk of it getting hurt. I have been working with birds for over 15 years and unfortunately as I like to say it, with birds, the devil is just waiting for an opportunity, better to be extra safe. Edit: also to be clear I often used very soft grip tweezers that are used for picking up insects as you can not damage the feather with those even in a bird jerks during "preening", and they also come with rounded soft tips.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

So smart! Thank you for your expertise. I totally agree that birds can be very unpredictable!! I should have a disclaimer warning. I really hope people will take great caution with their birds and use your information!!

[@Leto_0]

Thank you, I was alternating between complete relaxation and stress whenever the tweezers were near her eyes lol. They move so their heads so quickly and shake around sometimes, definitely dangerous

[@madisonscory1565]

Where did you find these tools safe for preening?

[@DuneDemon8]

@@madisonscory1565 Try pet shops that sell reptiles. They have tweezers with blunt edges of various sizes. Even better if they are wooden / they have less strength than metal because wood bends easily, or if they are for picking up small insects like ants. These ones for small insects can't press hard at all and often have rubber points.

[@silverspurs233]

@@madisonscory1565fingers are fine, no tool is necessary

[@genocyber4842]

My two do this to each other, I always thought it was them “kissing” or just showing affection. Didn’t know there was an actual reason behind it! That’s so cool😊

[@pinfeathersgalore]

You're not wrong!! It's also cuddling and showing affection too on top of the preening!❤️❤️

[@moniquewallace7744]

Adorable ❤

[@jdglivesinatree]

Awww, new sub, love these preener vids! Now I want to see a video about how you got them to trust the tweezers- my birds would never let me near ‘em with anything, lol. What a precious girl. ❤

[@pinfeathersgalore]

So glad and happy you enjoy it❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have found my people!

[@eily_b]

@@pinfeathersgalore Haha, yes, you got me. I like to watch it. I always loved to watch my budgies preen (and open their pin feathers). But they didn't let me touch them so I could only be so lucky to catch them from time to time doing it. I always loved to sit peacefully with them when they had their preening sessions. They are long gone and now I have KZbin. 🙂

[@pinkcrazygirl]

It's so good to see how she enjoys it. It's a bless for birds when they get preened from their partner or human. Thank you for sharing this long video. I watched it several times until the end and will always come back. Thank you for sharing those videos and giving your budgies lots of love.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you so, so, very much for watching. It makes me super happy when people like you tell me that these videos help them relax and makes them feel happy inside. It's like a perpetual cycle of happy feelings all revolving around bird dander! That fact alone just makes me super giddy, haha.

[@pinkcrazygirl]

@@pinfeathersgalore And it makes me happy that you receive many positive comments. :) Your videos are so satisfying to watch. 💖 My recent budgies don't let me preen them. :( My first budgie allowed me to preen her and she couldn't get enough. I'm looking forward to watch new videos from you and your precious budgies. ❤️

[@lilyribeiro]

❤ It's cute and relaxing

[@EyeSeeThruYou]

What a privilege to be trusted with this task! It must feel so good to be groomed, the feather caps are probably be super itchy as they grow in.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

My greatest privilege for sure! Especially for such a small bird to trust me with her like this :)

[@VeraDonna]

I wouldn't trust myself with tweezers on a budgie. I'd probably scratch their little eye! 🙈 (Also, running my fingers trough their feathers is better than therapy. 😅) What you're doing with the tweezers is an impressive skill. :)

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Aaaww thank you! I'm always on high alert when I'm using tweezers! And totally agree...the feeling of budgie floof under fingertips is amazing!

[@hivezphone]

​@@pinfeathersgalore to be always on high alert means that ultimately just one mistake will leave budgie without an eye 😢

[@StrickFamilyAdventures]

This is one of the best ones. I love when u dont play music and we can hear the birds

[@CatherineGReyes-uw7wk]

Great method for getting the very fine pins near the nose & beak. Athena seems a little nervous at first but I think she calms down. The male budgie you had really loved this though :)

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Thank you so much for watching! Yea, the tweezers are great for tiny pinnies! My fat fingers would never be able to do this. I have a few more different budgies that I'll get around to filming :).

[@Maria96921]

​@@pinfeathersgalore she's adorable and we can see how much she trusts you! I have noticed her beak, especially at the tip is flaky. Looks exactly like my own budgie's beak, who has mild liver issues and psittacine beak and feather disease. It's very typical sign for both of those diseases, so if you haven't already, i think it's worth getting her checked by an avian vet. Athena's feathers look very healthy, so my guess is more on liver issues. This is in no way meant to be an attack, your birds are obviously very loved and taken great care of.

[@deborahjames8251]

So many bless its little ❤

[@johngangemi1361]

[@arlocke]

A few days ago, I got to use everything I've learned from your channel about pinfeathers, to help a baby mourning dove that left its nest too early. It absolutely loved being pampered and groomed by my small gentle tweezers. Unfortunately, as with most wild baby birds that get abandoned or lost, it didn't survive for long. We did our best with what we had, but it was injured too.. I'm just very very happy and humbled that I could give it one last long cuddle and pinfeather pampering before it passed away that night. Thank you so much for sharing these delightful little videos. They taught me a lot and have brought me real joy right in my arms.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

Aww. Thank you for grooming that poor baby dove. Was it a nestling? Nestlings definitely need special care, and fledglings are usually fed and cared for by their mothers outside the nest:) Yes, baby birds are extremely difficult to care for. A wildlife rehabber has the equipment and medical knowledge to give them the best chance at life❤️.
