Coincidence or does he know??

Post by laine »

Is this just a coincidence or does Smokey carry a little diary in his back pocket ?? :lol: :lol:

It doesn't matter what my movements are, he always has a bath on Tuesday and Sunday around lunchtime. When I was working, if i came home for lunch he was always drenched as he had bathed in his water bowl. Now that I am home, he is out nearly all day every day and I have given him a big bath out of the cage. He still only uses it on Tuesday and Sunday and both days around lunchtime. What's so special about these days - it's not as if they are divided evenly like bathing every 3 days, it just doesn't make sense. If I try to force a bath or introduce him to any other bath play, he flies away cos he's just not interested.

It prompted me to ask this question as he was bathing today (Tuesday) at lunchtime :lol: :lol:

Does anyone else's bird bath routinely all by themselves?

I change the water every day in all the bowls, but bathing only happens on Tuesday and Sunday (lunchtime) :lol: :lol:

lol... yeah... that's funny... I always think mine should have a drink of it, before bathing in the water.

Charlie Parker was a dirty bird for a while--he'd hop in his water dish and give himself a bath at most once every week or two. He'd make such a splash that I started giving him a shower twice a week with the spritz bottle, and then he'd get a blowdry with the hairdryer (which he LOVES) when the weather turned cold. About a month ago he started his first big moult and I started giving him a spray shower every day to help with the new pin feathers and now if I forget he hops into the water dish and does it himself, and sometimes even takes an extra bath before dinner. Now that it is warm again no hairdryer, but he does spread his tail and do a dance when he's soaking wet and I say "okay, wet bird--shake your butt!" :lol:

I haven't seen my IRN take a bath, but my other birds all take a bath on Saturday afternoons. That's the only day they will take a bath by themselves; if I want them clean during the week I have to take them into the shower with me. I've also wondered if they keep a little planner and watch in their cage to keep track of the days and time. :wink:
