If you have your notary commission, read on. If not, please click HERE to get started. If your state is not yet listed (it will be soon) then the next best step is to contact your Secretary of State's office. All offices now have websites that can be useful (although I am not impressed with the New York site).
Among our pet birds, the uropygial gland (preening gland or oil gland) is found on budgies, parrots (except Amazon parrots), canaries, most finches, cockatoos and waterfowl. It is absent in doves, pigeons, Amazon parrots and Hyacinth macaws.uring preening, a bird transfers this oil to its feathers by rubbing its head and beak against the oil gland and then spreading the oil over the feathers on the rest of the body..
The purpose of down feathers is to trap air between the feathers and the birdâs skin to insulate it. Some birds, such as baby chicks, are born covered in down. Some birds that don't have the preen gland like pigeons and herons also grow powder down feathers. These feathers grow continuously and never molt.
