Once I had to grab Buddy to put him the hospital cage for a vet visit. He managed to wiggle free and left 3 tail feathers - two were the long ones - in my hand. They grew back quickly but didn't affect his flying. Are they eating enough greens? What they eat will affect how their poops look.

Why are you concerned about them preening themselves? It is very much normal budgie behaviour, and it does seem to be contagious - if one starts the others do seem to follow. Feathers much be in peak condition to enable flight, and they do take a lot of care to keep them like this.

I do know that budgies need to preen, but I didn't know they have to preen so much of the time to keep their feathers in top condition. Thanks again Hezz.

No worries. Try to relax and enjoy them more rather than look for things to go wrong.

Just let them out in the room and Biscuit explored the fan. Kept seeing this head popping out from up there and tweeting he was adorable!!

Fan is the favorite place for mine too!! And the next comes curtain rod 😍
As for cleaning fan is difficult, I made some non glossy chart paper sleeves and added some extra layers on top of it. I just detach and throw away the extra layer when I need to clean it. Newspaper ink is harmful at my place.. could have used that for layer, but that's not possible for me..
