Jade has been allowing me to preen her at night but I wasnt sure if it was hurting or helping. Even though she tolerated it i wasnt sure she really wanted touched.

Well today she came over and started preening my arm. Occasionally she would stop and look at me and then pinch hard.

Ow I. Say and she starts preening gently again. Then stops looks at me for a few seconds and bitez kinda hard.

Hmmm maybe she wants me to preen her. I approach her with my finger out and she screchees makes biting motions abd mooves away.

This happens a few more times so i aporoach with my fingers curled under. My hand is over her head now. Slowly I uncurl a finger and now I am preening her. First time she asked me to preen her.

Oh and I need to start referring to Jade as he because he mounted a lutino pearl girl baby cockatiel and was trying to mate. As planned the cockatiel has been rehomed.
