No question is dumb, and you can't get an answer if you don't ask and I don't mind helping:P
It would be fine to use on your macaw or any bird for that matter, it is safe and soothing for their skin.
Siobhan has given you some sound advice of been there and done that, do her suggestions on a daily basis rather than occasionally, he may never come to like him much more than he does now but will tolerate him more. They do tend to pick their favorites and once picked is near impossible to reverse.
I love that name Biggles, it is unusual for sure.
If you are talking about the aloe vera juice yes I use it for every bath and yes what I have is the 99.8% so it is all the same. It leaves the feathers softer I think.
I don't know Jdr, maybe if the toy itself was used by an infected bird but maybe not by just being in the same store, Berna will probably know, she knows everything.
Well glad to hear that all if forgiven and he is back to his goofy self again, they do get pissed off and need a little time to get over it:laugh: :blink:
Heather it could be night frights too, greys can have those. But that earthquake theory has merit also, animals sense stuff that we don't pay any attention to. The fact that she seems ok now I wouldn't worry about it, maybe it won't happen again.
Thanks for the tips Tracy, boy that grapefruit seed extract stuff must be powerful to be able to use 20 drops in 32-oz of water, I will give that a try.
And of course baking soda has long been known as a good odor eliminater.
And thanks go to you too Siobhan for your ideas as well.
Yeah that crusty looking beak just means he enjoys his food and when you enjoy it you wear it:laugh:
Looks like a nice baby, those dark eyes are so adorable, I melt at the sight of them and he has a little red factor going on the lower part toward the legs, looks like a keeper.
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us and keep us updated on his progress.
I have a female grey also and though it didn't really matter to me what it was it is good to know and now you have that harrowing experience with obtaining the blood sample behind you, enjoy her!
Josey will be two years old in May, maybe I will wrap her a present up in paper and see if she will tear it up to get to it. Yeah a favorite treat will work.
