FirstPenguin Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Cute pictures!!! A real cuddle muffin. Sorry to be a nag, but I grimaced a little when I saw the picture featuring the blow dryer for several reasons. Hopefully you're not using the heated settings and just the blower. However if you are, the heating elements of blow dryers and other appliances can be coated with teflon. Not only could you be releasing deadly airborne poison in the presence of your precious fid, you might also be propelling it in her direction. If you mist or bath your bird and it appears to be "shivering" it's not cold. It's a natural behavior to aid drying of the feathers. Second, I can't imagine using dry heat from a blow dryer being good for the skin or feathers of a bird. Goodluck with your new fid, hope I was more help than nag.

Ruby Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 we don't use it with the heat on, and my vet also told me it was okay to use it with her. she loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ruby is lovely but I have to make one comment about the blow dryer, I wouldn't use it even on the no heat setting, a grey is better off to just let her dry off naturally for that is why she appears to shiver, using a blow dryer will make their skin dryer and that is something you do not want. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Beautiful little girl!!! I agree with Judy tho on the hair dryer-- It also prevents the natural oils they need from forming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
