Spiky, my cockatiel, used to love being blown on! He'd spread his wings, bend his head and relish in me ruffling his feathers!
Harvey is a bit bigger, with a bigger beak - so I'd never really contemplated it - until now.....!
He's really moulting - and baby feathers are poking through his grey feathers and he's really quite untidy. I thought I'd take my chances!
I've just blown on his head! He loves it - he's bent down for more - under the chin - top of his neck etc!! It's just like Spiky has returned!!
I'll do my best though not to get too near that beak
