Martin preening his lovely feathers. PREENING AND WHY IT INDICATES COMFORT If you've ever closely watched birds, no doubt you've seen them spend some moments dutifully adjusting their feathers one by one with their beaks. Eagles are no different and that activity is called "preening". During the course of eagle life, feathers get mussed, dirty, and disorderly and must be attended to.

Afterward, they preen to spread natural oils that waterproof their feathers. Fun fact: Eagles are considerate roommates! They often bathe before heading back to the nest—clean feathers help keep eaglets warm and healthy. | Southwest Florida Eagle Cam

Notice how she slides her beak along her longer feathers? Each feather is made of many smaller interlocking filaments, which can become separated.

Feathers wear with time and use and birds preen these using preening oil that is secreted from the preening glands. However, any excess oil on bird feathers may be a hindrance in smooth flight. To overcome this, birds indulge in dust baths. Dust absorbs excess oil from the feathers and prevents the feathers from getting greasy. Oil-soaked dust can easily be shed when birds shake their bodies and flight feathers. This also removes any parasites like lice, feather mites etc. This Common Hoopoe was
