Louie is One Wet Amazon!!

[Luvparrots]

I mist my fids with aloe vera juice and water a couple of times a week, it certainly is helping Sully (ekkie) grow his feathers back. Ana Grey just loves being sprayed and there is a video around here somewhere showing her twirling and flapping in total delight. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pictures of Louie and his spraying session. He fluffs up his feathers like my daddy's old fighting cocks use to do (oops!). Louie still won't let me touch him but that's alright, he is very smart and goes into his cage at night time no problem so we get along just fine. Ana Grey still dive bombs him and he has started to beak back and say, "Stop that" (new words for Louie) shooing Ana Grey off. Ana Grey is about 1/3 Louie and Sully's sizes so good thing she is quick and they are just lumbering giants trying to get a pest to go away. Anyway, Louie's misting pictures!!!!

I think Louie Looks great from any angle. I love the colors because they make them look like a differant bird from all angles.

I know I can look at Cricket for hours.

Yes, sireee, they are certainly amazing amazons!!!! Thanks Ray!!!

My Lucy spreads her wings just like that all the while asking me if I want some, she wants everyone to enjoy the fun.

Zons are such fun, Karen

I'm loving the photos, each one looks so bright and colourful! Diego does the same thing with his wings when he is having a shower, he loves getting the water right in under his wings. Afterwards he looks soaked to the bones LOL

All these birdies so happily enjoying their showers. And my Moussa runs and complains and acts like I'm spraying him with acid.

 

Did your birds always enjoy their shower? Or did they have to get used to it? Any tips for me?

I love it!! Thanks for sharing!!

Cricket has a corner bird bath in her cage and all the wife has to do is start the vacuum and she will jump in to her bird bath

When I got Louie about a month ago, he would growl at me when I sprayed him. I guess he just watched Ana Grey loving her spraying and how she always runs up to the top of her cage playstand to be misted. I always spray upward at them with a fine fanned out spray, perhaps that helps.

Great pictures:) Gorgeous colours! Thanks for sharing

Diego has always liked his showers but the breeder used to spritz him as well before we had him so he has got used to it from an early age. He does not like baths though, although I think this is more that he just does not know what to do with them?
