Hi all,
My six girls just love to dust bathe and they often hang in groups and kick up sand on one another. I was enjoying the show today when I noticed one of girls go up to another and start "grooming" her feathers, pulling out bits of sand and down with it. The one being groomed didn't seem to mind, just layed there while the other was pulling up feathers. Have you seen this kind of behavior? I don't think it's a big deal, but would love to hear you weigh in on it. It wasn't excessive, but I don't want to see bald patches. Just wondering...
