Meet Juanita!!!

This feisty little girl bites - hard!
I rescued a plucker budgie named Phillip when another person approached me and asked if I could give her two budgies (Juanita and Chimichanga) a less stressful home. Unfortunately they lived with a cat and Chimi's wing was permanently disfigured, but he survived the cat attack!
They came to me not tamed but after a couple of months of spending time with them, I introduced her to some preening sessions. Juanita actually enjoyed the tweezers :)

[@falsebaroness]

Thank you for giving these birds a safe home.

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@falsebaroness thank you very much!! 🥰 I'm maxed out with birds now, hehe.

[@PlutoDarknight]

Little prickly friend. Hope she will have a great time at your place. She deserves a good forever home

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@PlutoDarknight I hope so too! She's finally eating her veggies and fruit, but she def has a few grams to lose!

[@kirkygirl]

Oh hello sweet baby! ❤ I can tell that she isn't the biggest fan of the human preens, but I bet it feels pretty darned good to have all of those pins gone!

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@kirkygirl yep! I was very proud of her for tolerating the tweezers for the first time!

[@itsplovertime]

She's so sweet and brave! Love your videos!

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@itsplovertime thank you! She is. It took her about 2 months to sit on my finger (she hasn't been handled her whole life). But she'll rest in my hand now :) Thank you so much for being here!!! 💝

[@MS-tf8vh]

Question: do you ever brush or pet them just to try and get all the dust off them?? I feel like thats fighting a loosing battle considering how naturally dust they are but when i see videos i want to try and get all that dust orf them 😂

[@jewlesw.2437]

it got 2 sheaths in its eye! did u notice? we did 😂😂. He’s beautiful. Is he a new one?

[@TypeHoeNegative]

I had to stop watching the video because she just let the empty bit fall right next to her eye twice, and made no gesture to remove it. even after it fell right into her eye! will be re-thinking about viewing this channel again, that was so uncomfortable to watch.

[@jewlesw.2437]

oops it’s a”she”.. sorry😮. Hire do u get them to stay so still? ❤❤ loving your videos

[@Gunlord]

[@TOOMUCHSAUCE91]

What do these birds feel?

[@MooseCall]

Emotions. Higher than the heavens above.

[@nt75]

What are you doing exactly?

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@nt75 hello! I'm helping my bird get rid of the casings off her new feathers :) feathers grow inside a shell of hard keratin - like skin. When the feather is done growing, I just take it off for them.

[@nt75]

@@pinfeathersgalore Beautiful bird. What kind is it if you don't mind me asking?

[@pinfeathersgalore]

@@nt75 I don't mind at all! She's a budgie, also known as a parakeet. They're native to Australia, but very popular in North America and Europe.

[@nt75]

@@pinfeathersgalore I would love to have one.... Where can I get one?

[@marlepeace9844]

⁠​⁠@@nt75the description says they got this budgie off a friend so I don’t think they can answer you on this one :(
