@frilly.tilly: When I help Tilly remove the keratin sheaths from her new feathers, I'm essentially mimicking allopreening...a natural grooming behavior pigeons use to strengthen social bonds in pigeons! Make sure to leave pin feathers alone, those have a blood supply and are painful #petpigeons #pigeonbehavior #preening #molting #fancypigeon preening pet pigeon
