  1. First time here. I have a beautiful, affectionate 10 month old congo african grey. This morning my 2 year old and I were saying goodbye to my husband in the garage, then I heard the bird screeching and my son (back inside) laughing saying "bath bath" apparently, he discovered the bottle with bleach/water solution on my husbands tool shelf that I disinfected the bird cage with last week, and had sprayed my poor birdie (he's seen me giving her a bath with a spray bottle before) She was on the floor, and I smelled her, and sure enough, she had bleach/water droplets all over her. I ran her over to the sink and rinsed her off under the faucet, poor thing was growling and biting almost making me bleed. She has never, ever bit before. I am almost positive she will be ok, her feathers were nice and slick, so bleach didn't soak into them, I was worried about her eye. She keeps closing it, but it isn't red or irritated, so she may just be exhausted. and she has only sneezed once, probably from her forced bath. I am very worried about gaining her trust back. I was trying to comfort her after her terrible ordeal, and she would bow her head and let me pet her, then remember and growl/bite my hand. I feel awful for her, I am afraid this will really traumatize her. How easy is it for greys to bounce back from things like this? How can I help??
