It’s Fact Friday and we’re learning about preen glands! 🐓 Chickens, like most bird species, have a preen gland located near the base of their tail that produces oil made of fatty acid and esters to keep their feathers healthy and waterproof. 🪶 When they groom, they spread these oils across their feathers with their beak, keeping them shiny, clean, and insulated. The oil is also used as an antimicrobial, keeping their skin healthy. It’s like their own little spa treatment! This Fact Friday is b

Birds preen by using their beaks to clean, smooth, and align their feathers, a vital grooming behavior for insulation, waterproofing, flight, and parasite removal, involving oil from the tail gland and interlocking feather barbs to keep plumage in top condition for survival, often for hours daily. | Get Wild

When birds need to cool off, they've got one major issue to deal with: they don't have sweat glands. So they have to come up with other ways to release excess heat from their body. One of their techniques is termed "gular fluttering," and this Double-crested Cormorant is demonstrating it for us. It's kind of like the way a dog pants, but with an extra twist. The bird opens its bill wide and vibrates the thin gular membranes (the bare skin of the throat). As air moves over the moist surface, the

It was a wet weekend here in Central Florida. Most birds have feathers that are at least somewhat water resistant, due to a gland above the base of the tail called the uropygial or preen gland. When stimulated by the beak, this gland produces oil that gets distributed through the feathers with preening, providing some water resistance. Barred Owl.
