AzureClarity Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My CAG Hewie absolutely will not take a bath in any sort of water other than ice water. The only time I ever give him ice water is when I'm changing his water dish and I feel like giving him a treat; he loves ice cubes. Nowadays, he just throws the ice cubes out and he hops right into the dish to bathe! Is this unhealthy for him and if so, how can I get him to bathe in warmer water?

JungleDreamz Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I dunno the answer to that question, but it sounds really cute! lol Silly birds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureClarity Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 It is, lol. He can't really fit in the dish, so when he sits in it and he's all fluffed up, he and the dish look like one big grey muffin in a blue muffin wrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMary Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I think this is actually not a problem, Azure. My Maxi does exactly the same thing, and somewhere on here there's another thread where people have discussed that their birds prefer ice water, too. I guess some of our little African birds have a secret longing to be penguins!:lol: I prett uch aleways give Max ice water now, she loves it so much - and she really only tries to bathe in it when she's fresh out of the real shower and alreadt wet. Then, tho: watch out! Ice water flying everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureClarity Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Well, that makes sense since they look like baby penguins. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSturm Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Well since Zel will only take a bath while in the shower with me we'll be skipping the whole ice water thing . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBeanz Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I totally agree with SSturm! The ice water thing is a no no! Harvey's taken to showering with me (he's actually much calmer than on his own) so the ice water thing will be skipped too! At the mo here in the UK it's quite warm so I'm tolerating the "luke warm" shower, but come the winter I think Harvey will be showering on his own - and the temperature gauge will be turned up for me!!

tanyab Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Phoebe loves ice water. Today was a very hot day. I thought that maybe her water was warm so I put ice in it to cool it off. She played and played.Water was everywhere.She just seemed like it. She had a great time.I think Ill do this as a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Most like cool water and if theres ice cubes in it, it's party time!! :woohoo: Although it does get a bit messy when they crack the ice cubes and pieces go flying everywhere, but hey, it's just water, not sticky fruit!!
