Altani (Golden Eagle) preening up those belly feathers all nice! Preening is important to keep feathers in good condition to help insulate, waterproof, and streamline a bird! Preening also puts a bird in a vulnerable position, and typically signals a very comfy bird like Altani! I always feel very blessed to have a bird preen like this on my glove 💜 -Alex | The Raptors

Feathers wear with time and use and birds preen these using preening oil that is secreted from the preening glands. However, any excess oil on bird feathers may be a hindrance in smooth flight. To overcome this, birds indulge in dust baths. Dust absorbs excess oil from the feathers and prevents the feathers from getting greasy. Oil-soaked dust can easily be shed when birds shake their bodies and flight feathers. This also removes any parasites like lice, feather mites etc. This Common Hoopoe was

Preening is critical to feather care and maintenance and raptors spend a fair amount of time each day making sure their feathers are in perfect condition. At the top of the base of their tail is the uropygial gland, or preen gland, which secretes a special oil used in preening. The bird collects this oil using its beak and head before rubbing and working it into the feathers across its body. Most bird species have an uropygial gland and the oil is believed to keep feathers flexible, strong, and

Preening our rooster Sven, and fun feather facts. 🪶🐓 When birds grow new feathers (called pin feathers), they come out covered in a protective, thick, waxy casing. This is because new feathers actually have a blood supply running through the main shaft! The casing protects them while the blood supply is there. As the feather matures, the blood supply recedes and then the sheath dries out and begins to break down. If a blood feather breaks before the supply recedes, it bleeds profusely. Birds w
