Show us photos of your birds preening themselves!

I am always drawn to photos or artwork of bird preening -- either themself or a feathered friend. I thought it might be fun to see how many members have photos of their birds engaging in this activity. C'mon, let's share!!

Here is one of my CAG, named Gabby. Poor baby has no privacy -- took this butt shot of her a couple years ago as I thought it an interesting angle of her preening. It is still a favorite of mine.

So let's see yours!!

Probably best butt shot I got.... cept it was for bathing....


My most photogenic bird...










I would love to have some of Noel preening, but her preening skills are almost non-existant... which may explain why her feathers aren't always in the best of shape....

I like this picture though.... Casey nibbling on her toe, wanting headscritches... when she (and Charlie) is getting preened she likes to grap a hold of something, as if the pure moment and bliss of being scritched is an ecstacy, and she's grabbing a hold of something to not loose that ever so great feeling!



Okay, so well you asked!

Loved all the pictures, they're great! I've been looking to get a new camera soon, so now I have to ask... what kind of camera's took all these great shots?
