I use to bathe Ana Grey in warm water, but as the weather got warmer I have been bathing her in cold water. She actually likes cold water best. I haven't try ice cubes in her water. Perhaps I'll give it a try!
I am the only bird person I personally know. Everyone shows me the same respect for my companions, 2 parrots and a dog, as I show their companions. All the kids in the neighborhood want to see my birds and even the grownups will come over and spend a few minutes chatting about my fids and giving Lily the pug a scratch and hello.

Great introduction Mark! Congratulations on your new baby CAG. It's always nice to hear that someone has done their research before adopting a fid (feathered kid). Are you close enough to the breeder's establishment/home to be able to visit the three available babies? Can't wait to see some pictures of the baby that is right for you. Welcome to the grey family!
Hi justalady, congratulations on becoming a grey parront. Is your baby grey a Congo or a Timneh? Will you be having your baby DNA tested? You have picked a great place to await your baby grey as there is oodles of helpful information and lots of great people to help you out with any questions you have. Welcome to the grey family!
Thank you Daveyj. I luv it!!!! So I will return the favor!!!!

If you have step-by-step instructions, the vet's number and your cell phone number written down, and have Willis' normal routine lined out and the dos and don'ts written down, and plenty of favorite treats, everything should be fine. Go and enjoy yourself and I'll bet Willis will appreciate you all the more when you get home.
