If she lets you, gently rub her head with the tip of your finger. If she likes it, she'll probably shove her head in the direction she wants you to scratch her. If she doesn't she'll start play-attacking your finger. Either way, if she nips you, stop until she head butts you again.

The pin feather should have a small feather coming out of a whiteish tube you rub your fingers together on the whiteish tube and it will crumble as a flake and gently blow on her and the flakes will fall off her.

SO glad there are folks here to help - I would not have known the answer to this question either. Thankfully, mine preen each other.

I have two tiels and they do not like each other at all so I have to take care of their heads. I bought the second one so my female wasn’t lonely and she is jealous that I am around him so she will not leave my shoulder.
