Feather dust in cockatoos refers to the fine powdery substance produced by specialized feathers.
These feathers, called powder down feathers, continuously break down into fine particles as the bird preens itself. The dust helps to keep the bird's feathers clean and waterproof by absorbing excess oils and moisture.
Cockatoos use their beaks to distribute the dust throughout their plumage, ensuring thorough coverage. Regular preening and dusting are essential for maintaining the health and condition of a cockatoo's feathers.
