I have always thought that all birds can fly and all they do is sit in a cage all day and screech. well i thought this before I had birds anyways. Once we got our birds I soon realized that they need room to explore and be themselves. While living in Alaska we would let our Nitty bird out on top of her cage... and if you did not watch her closely she would climb the curtains and get to the cereal cupboard... and of course bite it open to get some sweet cereal treats!
Little Miss Bimini on the other hand is just a baby still and she isnt sure about her surroundings. When it is warm outside we give them huge baths in the bathroom with our removable shower head that has a good adjustment to get the birds clean with. We take our birds to the bathroom and Bimini would always get scared. We decided to try and put her on the top of the shower doors and she loved it up there. She sang, danced and baby talked at us for probably a half hour while we gave Nitty a bath and bathed our dogs. She now likes to take a shower with people, only if there is someone else in the shower with her. Nitty loved the shower on the other hand. She sang, chirped and kissed the water. She danced like there was no tomorrow and bit at the water and growled at it playfully. Bath Time: birds should be sprayed with a squirt bottle filled with WARM water at least once a day. Dont douche them with water everyday... That big bath should be about once a week. DO NOT use hairdryers to dry your bird UNLESS: you know it does not contain teflon.
