Some research has found that parrots are divided into two categories during evolution:

One type is the Psittacidae, which mainly protects its feathers with the secretions of the tail fat gland; the other type is the Crested family. Mainly, the feathers are protected mainly through powder.

The tail fat gland is heavy After the parrot species are wet with water, the secretions of the tail fat gland undergo an obvious chemical reaction, thus releasing a more obvious "head-turning" smell...

The secretion of the tail fat gland serves as the main protection for the parrot family. Common species include peony parrots, Amazon parrots, etc.

The most common parrot species that mainly secrete fat include various species of the Crested family, such as the sunflower cockatoo, and of course the cockatiel! In addition, species that secrete feather powder for protection include African gray parrots.

Although these two protection methods are different, they both play the role of waterproof, wear-resistant and insect-proof.

Some owners said that the experience of raising them is quite different!

The varieties with more feathers and pink feel really good! It feels slippery to the touch, like talcum powder! The bad thing is that there is too much dust and the lungs can’t stand it!

But like a peony parrot? This kind of feather powder has less feather powder, and the hair will feel a bit astringent, but it is really friendly to the respiratory tract of people who are sensitive to dust! ——Besides after taking a bath, there will be a stinky smell on your body, especially the wet parrot, which is like a walking stinky sock!

However, after learning the truth, many people said that not only would they not dislike their baby birds, but they understood that the feather flakes and odor reflected the health of the baby birds to a certain extent!
