Chikoo (female Eclectus, 4yrs)
Rumi (male Eclectus, 12yrs)
Sometimes my female, Chikoo, preens herself aggressively. She seems excited, and just lunges at her tail or under her wings, or at her wings. She is not pulling the feathers out, and even makes the occasional pleasant noise while doing this. She gets bathed everyday, and she was sprayed with aloe vera yesterday and today. Is this normal every now and then? She does not always preen like this, but I've noticed her preen with more intensity sometimes. I live in a Hawaii, and there is no A/C in my house, just tradewinds flowing in the house, and plenty of humidity. So there is no way her skin is dry!
