katana600 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 My name is Dee and I am a grey sniffer. I risk piercing my nose or getting an eye put out but am not willing to stop. They sent me home from the funny farm, no discounts. Hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sniffing your grey or other species of parrots is not regulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Getting high from the smell of your birds is legal and (usually) safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sophie smells good too! She has the BEST morning breath I have ever met! ( I've met many!) I agree with Talon about the Amazon smell. Its a smell you have never met before! You can't identify it, go in for another sniff. Addicting! Then I sniff Sophie, whom smells so different. I have always loved both. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvenking Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Getting high from the smell of your birds is legal and (usually) safe. Do be careful. I would go snorting bird dander! LOL! Hit....I mean sniff lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well at least you don`t need a rolled up dollar bill to sniff your grey or amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Smell is a powerful sense as it relates to emotion and memory. I had a cat that showed up at my house, and the moment I smelled him, I knew he was mine. I can't explain it, but his scent (and it was a very light one) instantly invoked full-on mother in me. It was just like smelling my own baby. I love the sweet, powdery cockatiel smell, almost like baby powder. I love the wonderful smell of the Greys, especially when they have been outside. And I have now come to realize I love that musky Amazon smell. Alex, the sun conure, has very sweet breath most of the time (maybe because he loves fruit?) which is good because he loves to kiss and gets very... intense when doing so. I like his smell too, and now that there is an Amazon here, I notice that the sun conure smell is kind of like Amazon-lite. LOL. Maybe we need a 12 step program for bird sniffers, or even just "pet sniffers", lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezron Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Amazons give off a fruity aroma when they are alarmed. Pancho used to when i first got him, but he barely does now. I love the way Brutus smells! I do bury my nose in his feathers quite a bit. I bury my nose in Jimpster the Quaker's feathers too. I like the way they all smell. They are my kids after all...

murfchck Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hello, My name is Lisa and I am a bird sniffer... LOL, Bongo smells like a baby powder until you get near his beak, I would swear he eats garlic. (I think it is the peppers though as he doesn't get garlic unless it is in one of the bird recipes.) Gabby and Cotay don't let me that close to get a whiff of them, but I keep trying!!! My Lily and Gus and Koko though just love being sniffed!! The macaws, I can only smell Oliver and with his lack of feathers, I don't smell too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I share good company then because I love to smell my birds, each one has their own distinct smell and I love them all, nothing like sinking your nose into their feathers and taking a big whiff.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I can't say, any of my birds smell like baby powder, or anything GREAT! BUT.... as a shower is always a struggle with Sophie, she smells pretty darn good! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
