Shower Time

Even in winter a frequent shower is necessary. Molly, my blue and gold macaw, thoroughly enjoys her shower! During winter we all suffer from dry skin due to the lack of humidity. Be sure to shower your bird early in the day and don't use a hair dryer! Hair dryers dry out the skin and also can blow teflon fumes towards your bird! Just turn the furnace up a notch for an hour while your bird drys naturally. A misting bottle just doesn't do the same thing. Getting really wet is necessary. The mister does fine for in between times.
