Today I saw Kona (probably-male Cockatiel) on the floor of the bird room, holding a shed feather in his beak. Nimbus (male Budgie) was with him. Nimbus seems to be fascinated with the Cockatiels lately. He follows them around.
Why do they want to look at/chew discarded feathers?

My guys often run around with a feather in their beak. It's a toy, a game.

Mine are scared of loose feathers!
This round of budgies would be scared of a wobbly jelly.

My girls love a bit of feather twirling, I spotted Holly trotting about with a long tail feather in her mouth the other day, it was bolt upright, she looked like she was sailing with her mast up 😂
I’ve only ever seen girls do it interestingly.

Hens are keener but some of my boys have dabbled in feather-juggling. I love the idea that Holly is a sailor  |

I really scared Dexter once by picking up a feather he had shed but the other day there was one of Aster's feathers on the cage top and Dexter picked it up and played with it for a while.
