Kaedyn Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 DebT, When replying below, I didn't realize that this was an old thread that was resurrected. So, I guess the real question is, how did things work out? Has he finally come around to accepting his bath or the spray bottle? ---- I don't know if this will help your current situation, but it may be beneficial over time. I've found that my greys were more accepting of the spray bottle if I warned them before it appeared. Now, before I even show them the bottle, I ask them if they "Want spray?" Then after they've fluffed up their feathers in anticipation, I lift the bottle into view and spray. Obviously their anticipation of the event came after quite a bit of time following this same regimen, day after day. I started by spraying over their heads from a distance with a bottle that created a very light mist. To them it probably appeared more like humidity than drops of water and therefore was much less offensive.<br><br>Post edited by: Kaedyn, at: 2008/08/06 21:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedyn Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Tickle. I just posted an article called "Bathing Our Parrots" on the Grey Forum's main page. It should help you get started down the road of bathing your new fid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
