hot air blower after shower? Will this harm 'grey'???

[Luvparrots]

Our fids should not get into any kind of draft (don't want any sudden chills). I let my fids air dry; that way they can preen and primp at leisure. I spray them/bathe them in the AM/early PM so they have all day to dry off.

Janet is correct, you should just allow your fids to air dry naturally as using a blow dryer will dry their skin out further and you want them to stay damp for a while after a bath, never use any type of drying instrument on your fids.

This is an excerpt from the BATHING sticky located on the HEALTH ROOM main page

Sixth, never towel dry or hair dry him after a bath or spray. The longer he stays wet, the more he benefits from the bath/spray.

dave, 'grey' shivers after a bath. Should i just leave it?

[Dave007]

Yeh, put her on a perch, let her shiver and she'll soon start ptreening herself for quite a while. At the most, bathe her once a week if you feel that all of her underneath feathers have been soaked. There's methods in the bathing posts on how to bathe a bird in order to make sure the proper method is used.

That shaking of the chest and feathers helps to dry them but lots of people think they are cold because they are shivering but its just natural for them to do that.
