Birdie Bath Problems

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
