baillor Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 We all have funny stories about our Birds. My Mozart likes to take a bath in his water dish:P Not everyday mind you. I have tried showing him the sink, put a contain large enough for his butt...yet watching him try to fit his body in his bowl is beyond funny:kiss: The river of water, everything soaked and I mean everything within a foot of his cage. The look on his face afterwards is priceless. Yet most every article I have found states Greys don't like water!:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krutsingd Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 bailor, you really need to get some pics of that and post it on the site. I'd love to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazyAK Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 baillor: Welcome to the site! My CAG Mazy loves to do this also as many greys do. I hold her under the shower to get her really wet once a week and then use the blow dryer. (she loves the blow dryer) Try putting a shallow wide pan or the such in the bottom of her cage with just about a half inch of water in it. See what happens. It'll take her a while to get used to something new in the cage but clean it out and refresh it daily and soon she will find an interest to check it out. Aftwer, she may not use it but you never know. These greys make their own decisions Bye for now from Alaska Bruce & Mazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Klaus does his bathing in the water dish, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hello, Greys either love the water or hate the water. You should bath them at least 2 to 3 times a week. You should have fun with it also. And so should the bird. They are clowns thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillor Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks for all the replies!B) I have tried many times over the years to get Mozart into the shower. He doesn't like to be "told" what to do. :woohoo: When we put the shallow dish in his cage, well lets just say it wasn't a big success:S As forgetting pictures of him bathing.... I need to get a downloadable camera. Gadget person I'm not. Just about deal with regular e-mails:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 No one likes to be "told" what to do and I guess that includes greys, LOL, just like children they are.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yes, Baillor, I've tried the shallow dish in the bottom of the cage, too. What a mess! (Not water all over, just a MESS in the water - poop, discarded food, etc. and I swear it took him all of 5 minutes to get the water that filthy!) I've decided to get a shower perch and eeeeeaaase him into the idea verrrrry slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
