Anmlhggr Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Is it just the time of season after dry winter into moist summer that can cause our Greys to get dusty (and a bit chicken smelling! ) or could it be a more serious skin issue? Woody has feathers and dust all over the house!
judygram Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I would imagine that the dry winter has caused Woody's dust problem, maybe he needs more frequent baths or showers to help with the problem. I know my skin is drier in the winter with the heat on. He could be going thru a molt, that would account for more feathers and dust everywhere.
danmcq Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Judy is right on. It is VERY DRY in heated homes during the winter. A humidifier works wonders along with plenty of showers/misting. They also go through a pretty heavy molt in these last few months, which exascerbates the scratching and itching problem with all those new feathers coming in. I have showered\misted my Grey in the morning and that evening see him leave a dust imprint on a black sweatshirt where he sat. It seems to return very quickly.
