Contrary to popular belief, preening is not just about keeping aerodynamic feathers in perfect condition for flight.
It can also be a very effective security tactic.
Oh boy. I have warned them and warned them, but I see intruders in my backyard…..again.There is only one thing left to do.Time to break out the big guns.The “downy under wing” is so potent I reserve it for only the most intractable security threats.However, since my goal is to “stun” only – less messy cleanup later – I also vary it with the “back wing feathers”….…and the “sleek flight feathers.”Sigh. They’re all still there.Okay, but don’t say I didn’t warn you….!
