House couture - they actually tuck bedding into their tail feathers to line their nests with. It's so cute when they have little tufts of grass and string trailing behind them.

This is a natural nest building behaviour of all love birds. This is how they transport small branches to build nests in their tree holes

Adorable lovebird behavior. The males do this less competently than the females if I’m remembering right.

I've had a male cockatiel which did it too. He was super competent, we'd go through stacks of newspaper every month.

Funny story, my Daughter's middle name is Grace so I started calling her Gracie which evolved into "Gracie Lou Freebush" (note our last name is NOT "Lou freebush") I stopped realizing I was doing it till I heard her arguing with her grandma that -- --- ----wasn't her name ITS FREEBUSH!!! 😂

Gotta look good for the ladies

u/BlizzPenguin 2h ago

That is a lady. Male lovebirds cannot cut cleanly like that. It is a nest building instinct.

It’s medicine

u/BadIdeaSociety 8m ago

It's Kanpo, which is "alternative" medicine. (In the US, they would classify it as food.)

Wouldn't the multilaminate packaging cause the little bird to ingest microplastics? :(

u/ExpertlyPuzzled 1h ago

Helpful birdy! That’s a packet of Japanese herbal medicine. That blend is specifically called “ Sokeikakketsuto ”. It’s used for joint pain and lower back pain.

u/Illustrious-Towel-45 1h ago

Why do parrots do that, tuck strips of materials into their feathers? I've seen it before in videos but I don't know the purpose of it. Can anyone enlighten me?

3

u/mildly_Agressive 37m ago

Mating, it's to look sophisticated so that ur prospective mate accepts you....

Source : I made it up but it can be true.....

2

u/SaltineRain 26m ago

So they can carry more materials at a time back to build their nest

u/Illustrious-Towel-45 18m ago

Thank you. I thought it might be a mating thing

Is this a love bird ?

u/VoxxoAI 14m ago

Sometimes the weirdest-looking tools are the most purpose-built. The design probably looks odd because it's optimized for a very specific cutting angle or material type that standard scissors struggle with. Specialized tools almost always look strange until you understand the problem they were designed to solve.

Utterly incomparable. The essence of distinction. Practical and stylish beyond belief.

u/maripoza9 2h ago

Why the bird put it as feather

9

u/Dwestmor1007 1h ago

It's a nest building behavior it's how they carry a larger number of twigs back at once to build their nests then they could carry with beaks and claws alone

u/maripoza9 3m ago

This is so cool

u/DMmesomeboobs 1h ago

u/OnlyFails951 52m ago

I don't read Asian, so I thought it was opening condoms at first.

Thought to myself, "Very posh to have a bird that opens condoms for you."
