Preening is how birds keep their feathers clean, waterproofed, and in perfect position for the flying condition. It also enables birds to remove dirt from their plumage.
Studies on multiple species have shown that birds spend an average of more than 9% each day on their maintenance, with more than 92% of that time spent preening. Hence, it is extremely important for the pet birds to get enough opportunities for this. The Chewing Toy for parrots by SunGrow encourages foraging and preening and relieves feather plucking by your beloved feathery friend.
