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..
This behavior very rarely ends in any injury, and is often followed by mutual preening. Lowered Head A bird who is pulling his wings in close to his body, has his head lower than the perch and sometimes bobbing slightly, and is leaning forward with quivering or flapping wings is getting ready to take flight.
