Usually after a preening session. Its done to shake off any remaining dirt or particles from the session.
Preening is the process whereby a bird spreads oil from its oil glands onto its feathers. This keeps the feathers healthy & shiny, plus it is a way of removing dust, dirt, etc.
Feather mites are very common between the barbs of the primary flight and tail feathers of pet and aviary budgies in Australia. Feather mites are most easily seen with the naked eye by transilluminating the feathers. Feather mites are not blood sucking mites. Feather mites are similar in some ways to house dust mites. I suspect these feather mites can spread some infections such as PBFD but don't know if this has been proven. Feather mites in budgies are usually easily eradicated with 3-4 treatments as shown below at 2-4 week intervals of each bird in the aviary.
Because they are made up of dust particles and are quite horny ttyl xx
They smell lik whips and chains and dust and dead babies
In the books, pixie dust is made by either the Pixie Dust Tree or by grinding the Never Dove's feathers. In the movies, Pixie Dust also comes from the Pixie Dust Tree. In real life, you can buy glitter, or you can scrape a lot of yellow chalk, thus creating lots of dust.
Yes, female turkeys fan their feathers to get rid of dust, mites and parasites.
Not if they are well made. A featherbed filled with properly cleaned feathers will not exacerbate dust allergies. For extra security, use a featherbed cover with a membrane to block feather particles from leaking out.

Budgies aren't allergic to anything, their just not allowed to eat certain foods. Sticky foods may clog their beaks, if this happens take it to the vet right away. To learn what foods their allowed to eat and what their are, you can borrow some budgie books from your local library.
it's in the cabinet in the bathroom, it's for baby's who are having a reaction to the dust, better clean your house!
No. Birds do not have hair. All birds have a body covering of feathers.These feathers may be different in structure, depending on the species, but having a body covering of feathers is one of the defining characteristics of birds.In some birds, such as kiwi, the shaggy feathers may take on the appearance of hair, but hair is a trait unique to mammals. Birds may also have rictal bristles, which are hairlike feathers that occur mostly around the base of the bill, nostrils and eyes. The rictal bristles around the eyes act as eyelashed, to protect birds from dust. Similarly, the nose bristles filter dust from the air, rather like the nose hairs of some mammals.
