This question is for multiple parrot owners:
When your birds preen each other, do they preen each others' eyelashes?
My GCC started to do so for my Sun Conure, and I'm a little worried that it might be dangerous. The Sun didn't complain, but I was definitely on edge when he started to get so close to the eye.

That is wonderful that they preen each other. My cockatiels do but my Amazon won't.
Rambo and 
Myrtle both preen me. Myrtle does my eyelashes too.

I wouldn't worry to much. They are quite gentle with their beaks. If your birds have ever tried to groom you, they are quite carefule about what they are doing.
