kihei Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 We have only had Kihei a month, and I have tried offering her bowls of water and puting her on the edge of a sink with water in it..she isn't taking the hint and seems fearful. I am worried because she is really dusty and I am sure it has been a long time since she has had a bath. Any suggestions on how to introduce an older bird that is new to our home to a regular bathing riual? Without it ending in me missing chunks of flesh..? :confused: Thank you in advance.

JJsHoney Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I have the same issue with Rene I am still trying to get him to like me so giving him a proper bath is still a no no, I have a misting bottle that I use on the other birds tried it on Rene he went nutty!! so I went to the home center and bought a plant mister, the kind that you pump, it has a long hose and I can keep the scary bottle far away from the cage so he gets damp it helps with the dust, also I cleaned the bottle and hose many times I was being alittle paranoid but I wasn't sure how safe it was until I had it sitting in a bath of vinegar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
