SLW grooming BO

[WindingRoad]

One of my SLW is grooming my BO. She's not pecking she just kinda gets a piece of a feather and runs her beak down it. Almost like she's preening. Doesn't seem to bother the BO. And she doesn't see to be hurt by it. It's kinda heart warming that the SLW wants to preen my BO. Both layers BTW.

I posted recently about my SLW laying the nest box trying to lay and she had scratched out all the pine shavings and was sitting on bare wood, but she was throwing pine shaving over her back. And when she got up to check out another box she was throwing pine shavings over her back. I was told that's normal she was trying to hide all the while singing the egg song loudly. Silly birds.
