birdhouse Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If you keep experimenting eventually, you'll likely hit on the right bath tub. But I've pretty much given up trying to figure out who will & who won't bathe when, where or why. I swear it's one of those things that totally proves how drastically different a human's thought process is from a fid's. But, at least she's bathing & that's awesome! Always fun to watch, too ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Loved the video! Timber also prefers to bathe in his water bowl. Wish I knew how their minds work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If we knew how their mind works, we might be taking a bath in our water dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Put the little bowl in the big bowl next time. Let her go that route a few times and I bet she'll start using the big bowl. Also might try putting ice cubes in the water in the big bowl too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I've got a picture in my head that won't apparently be going away any time soon. Thanks for sharing, Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezron Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I thought these were supposed to be "smart birds"? Brutus does the same thing, the minute i change the water in his cage bowl He tries to dunk himself and he CAN'T! He gets his legs and his belly wet and that is all. I bought a huge cake pan for him and sometimes he will use that and get plenty wet but not reliably. I do take matters into my own hands on the weekends when i roll the bird cages outside and everyone gets a dousing with the hose. Brutus hates it but he has learned to tolerate it. The amazon LOVES getting incredibly soaked. The minute the hose is spraying him his wings go out like an umbrella until he is soaking wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 So yesterday was cleaning of the cotton ball cages and hanging some of their new Christmas presents. As soon as Koko went back into her cage, she stared me down and started stomping her big foot in her water bowl. That is her way of getting herself wet. All the papers and her plastic tub were soaked under that bowl, but she was happy about it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedawg Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Too funny Ray - Sometimes when I tap my finger in the big bowl she'll do a "run through" but runs right back to the bowl she can't fit in. I still do bring her in the shower but just to get her started, she then goes right to her bowl to have some real water fun. I have also used the "Aloe Vera" spray to mist her while she's trying to fit herself into her bowl - that way at least her back and wings get wet too. Oh and she makes the cutest sounds when taking a bath - you can't hear them in this video though. Edited December 27, 2014 by bluedawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 bluedawg... LOVED the video! It was fun to see a grey enjoy water! Sophie never will unfortunately.... her one and ONLY pet peeve! Showers here suck! It has to be done, she knows it... we do it both sighing! After 14 years, we have done everything possible and I have resigned myself, to we just have to do it. Sophie has resigned herself as well. We enter the " shower agreement"... lets get it done, and then we can do something fun! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedawg Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Awww - Sophie's lucky she has you to make sure she gets cleaned - just goes to show how unique each individual is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
