Georgiesmum Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 This could be a really stupid question but here It goes... I know greys give off a dust and can suffer from dry skin and when Georgie is grooming himself and then shakes i can see lots of dust rising. I read that if you put aloe vera in the water that is used for showering that it can help so im going to try that but was also wondering if you could also put a drop into the drinking water????

danmcq Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I would not put it in the drinking water. It would go rancid possibly over a few hours. Just using the aloe juice and spraying your grey 2 or 3 times a week until drenched will keep the skin supple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Aloe is suggested for human consumption as an aid to digestion - but parrots don't need this supplement. I Introduce Georgie quickly to the spray bottle - I find it best to spray Harvey when he's in his cage (he can't escape)!! Georgie will sharp get used to it and benefit from his little spray sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I mist Ana Grey almost every day, she loves it and twirls and holds out her wings so that she can be totally soaked through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
