TheGreyMiester Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I do not have a Grey yet but was wondering how often do you need to give it a shower? I found a baby that is not weaned yet and I'm going to take a look at it today.:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 TheGreyMiester, I think introducing your bird every day to its bath is safe to say it's regular Don't ever force him though. Also, if possible let him have his baths in the early afternoon so the feathers get enough time to dry up before retreating to sleep (which with wet feathers don't seem to be very healthy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreyMiester Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks very much for the advice. I saw my baby Timneh this past Sunday and it was very nice! It was very tame, it kept beaking my wedding ring and trying to climb up to my shoulder. The nails were razor sharp also! I will be able to bring it home in May, and my breeder is going to start calling it by the name I have chosen. We are going to call it Oliver and Ollie for short. The Tumbnail image under my name is the actual photo of the baby I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 He is so sweet {Love-0002011D}When I'm gonna have an either Timneh or Congo, I want him to look like that B) Oliver is a cute name, I think (always reminds me of Oliver Twist :blush: ) I bet you can't wait till it's May :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 TheGreyMiester will you tell us your experiences when you get your bird? (like....... did it kiss you back? ...... ) Just joking But I'm truly curious to know especially the first day at home :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyparamedic Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've found that my grey is very easy to bathe, but hates getting sprayed! Even after I bathe her and she's still wet, when I go to spray her with the Pluck No More she gets mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDweller Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I have a seven month old CAG named Cloe. For the last month she has been taking showers at least once a week. If I do not get her in the shower half of her water in her bowl ends up on the floor (drinking bowl becomes bird bath). When I first brought her home I sat her next to the sink to let her get used to the running water (she is spooked easily). Now she enjoys shower time. In fact once she hears running water she starts jumping around thinking it is bath time. But you will find out each bird is different, some love water ..... some like it in small amounts.

Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Citydweller, that's sooooo cool :laugh: I've never heard of birds having their bath in the actual shower for humans :laugh: She really look like a character (positively meant). Welcome to this forum. I would love to see more of you and experiences of Cloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
