Our bird's are kept inside, ever since one of our birds was killed by a wild bird (WHILE IT WAS IN IT''S CAGE!) He has 2 other birds to play with. He's a boy and their 2 girls and yet he still doesn't like them. Yeh, we give them popcorn and seed all the time...I think he just doesn't need to preen himself because I've NEVER seen him preen like the other 2! He is a very entertained birdy, he is basically a dog to us, he follows us around the home!
Nah, he's not malting, unless he has been malting all year
