Odd Behavior

I always bath Tyco in the bathtub with a little water in the tub and then I hose her down with the shower massage on the mist setting. She really enjoys her baths and opens her wings so every inch of her can get soaked. Thats strange enough for a Grey but the strangest part is after her bath she will empty her water dish another 2 or 3 times bathing again in it. I don't understand it at all. the only thing I can think of is that she was having such a good time in the shower that she doesn't want it to end. Does anybody else have an opinion on this?

if it's colder water in the bowl or it's fresh colder water in the bowl, they'll do that. Sometimes your bathing and nature telling the bird to bathe crosses paths

 

PS--most greys do that.<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2008/09/08 04:07

Sounds normal to me. I will go around with a spray bottle at work and spray the birds. I turn my back for 2 seconds and they all go in the bowls. They get into bathing mindsets and just can't stop! :laugh: :blink: :silly:

Well thats good at least I know that I don't have a strange bird. Its just none of my other birds do this just Tyco. Mind you my smaller birds bathin a cassarole dish and Fergie my Amazon baths the same way Tyco does but she has never tried to bath in her bowl anyway. She just a shower kinda girl I guess doesn't like to bath.
