CuteMandaPanda Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hey all! I decided to give Baby an Aloe misting today. It inspired him to take a bath in his cage. I captured some of it on video. He was really going at it prior to me getting the camera out but then he got shy. It's still cute though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's GreYt to see a grey actually enjoying a good misting and wanting to become even more drenched. What a cute video. Thanks for sharing it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuteMandaPanda Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Glad you enjoyed it! Hmmm wonder when he'll be brave enough to get in the shower with me. Is it necessary for their back and under back feathers to get wet? He doesn't really let me get back there with the spray and he definitely can't get back there by taking a dish bowl bath?

JillyBeanz Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 His back feathers are waterproof - the water just runs off there anyway - and in time he will "fluff up" and let you underneath. The "non-waterproof" feathers are on their chests and under their wings (armpits!)and these are the areas that they are most prone to dry, itchy skin and flaking - so a good soaking here is beneficial for them. Keep trying - one day that full soak will come (Harvey is one next week and I have achieved only one true "drench")! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
