JillyBeanz Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 As most of you know, Harvey had his first shower when he was 12 weeks old, and each week he has at least two. He sits there grudgingly whilst I spray the shower over him - lets me lift his wings to wet his "arm pits", but obviously I know his feathers are waterproof and the water just runs off. We've just been to the shower and as per normal he obliged - until he stood tall, spread out his wings and fluffed up!! I couldn't believe it - my neighbours will think I'm nuts with all the praise and jumping up and down I was doing!! I've chased him round the house for a photo! It's probably just a one off - but boy did I see those poor pin feathers underneath once he was wet - poor soul!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Aww Jill, he is just too cute. The shower will help him feel more comfortable during the molt. You are getting karma because I lurve your pictures of Harvey ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thats great to hear, now could you teach Josey to do that when I give her showers, she just stands there and endures hers without fluffing up to let the water in to get to her skin but I do the best I can. He looks great standing there, thanks for sharing the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
