| Birds must keep their
feathers well groomed. Clean and neatly arranged feathers are necessary for
flying and for keeping the bird's body from becoming too hot or too cold. I saw
gulls and other birds shake all over and ruffle their feathers to make them fall
back into place. They run their beaks along each feather to clean and
straighten it. This grooming by birds is called preening. I saw brown pelicans
in California as well as ostriches and many other kinds of birds preen their
feathers after they were finished eating. I watched white pelicans in Kenya.
They were bathing in a freshwater stream. The white pelicans catch their fish
in a rather salty lake. Their feathers become all crusty with salt. So the pelicans come to the stream for a through bath in clean water. Then they shake most of the water off their feathers and stand in the sun to finish drying. Birds sometimes do a very strange thing. They take a dust bath. The bird lies on soft soil and flutters its wings to throw the dust all over its body. The dust falls in between all of the feathers and absorbs the extra oil. When the bird shakes its feathers afterwards the oil-soaked dust falls away. I've watched sparrows, ostriches, and other kinds of birds take dust baths. Afterwards they shook and preened their feathers. |
