If you have your notary commission, read on. If not, please click HERE to get started. If your state is not yet listed (it will be soon) then the next best step is to contact your Secretary of State's office. All offices now have websites that can be useful (although I am not impressed with the New York site).
Among our pet birds, the uropygial gland (preening gland or oil gland) is found on budgies, parrots (except Amazon parrots), canaries, most finches, cockatoos and waterfowl. It is absent in doves, pigeons, Amazon parrots and Hyacinth macaws.uring preening, a bird transfers this oil to its feathers by rubbing its head and beak against the oil gland and then spreading the oil over the feathers on the rest of the body..
Hold the bird in front of your mouth when you teach it. This will ensure that you have your bird's attention. The closeness will help build the relationship between you and your bird, as well as help focus the bird on the sounds you want them to make.
