White Throated Kingfisher Preening!

Preening is a grooming behavior in birds where they use their beak to clean, arrange, and oil their feathers. It helps:

~Remove dirt and external parasites

~Re-align feathers for better insulation and flight

~Distribute oil from the uropygial (preen) gland to keep feathers flexible and waterproof


It's essential for feather health and overall survival in the wild.
