How Do I Give My Parrot A Bath? | PARRONT TIP TUESDAY

[@katebennedict]

Rocky's feathers are gorgeous!

[@selentiyaga]

Agreed.

[@YY4Me133]

I really appreciate how respectful you are of each bird's personality.

[@swissandham]

Water was used to punish my parrot by his old owners. I feel bad because he hates to get in the shower and he hates spray bottles. He takes baths in his water bowl.

[@crystalrodrigues2915]

Mine too ......... but he dosent have bath on his own

[@f__r]

mine too, the way he took bath by his own is he shake his bowl water so the water could falling and hit him

[@seeniyaali9903]

Mine was not harmed but she showers in her water bowl

[@leynnaaa5160]

Yea my amazon tries to do that but she can’t get all the way in and it stresses her out but last night she finally didn’t fight me to take a shower :)

[@enchanted525]

That was rude no one should ever punish their bird

[@drybn20]

That macaw’s feathers are beautiful!! Super shiny and metallic!

[@emilymillis5675]

I love the way rocky was hitting vinny in the face his response was so funny

[@jwbirdlover]

I love the way you give your birds love, attention, and choices!! My birds actually hate spray bottles.. among other things... even when I'm spraying my own hair same for hair dryers!! My boy rather gave his bath in a bowl, my girl the shower! They are Sun Conures siblings, adopted at the same time! Personalities vary so much! She loves to snuggle with a towel, preferably a warm one he prefers to shake like a puppy!! You'll definitely know if they love or hate something!! They both will do this in the kitchen sink in a bowl we hold but much prefer to be right th r te in the shower.. fave of all is bathing on our shoulders! They have a perch in a double walk in shower where they sit and just hang out with us, they will get excited when they want a turn, or simply land on one of us. If you try the shoulder put down a wash cloth first, or offer after they fly over, as your skin can be slippery! Mine love baths just before noon, but take them as late as about 5 pm in summer... I'm in Florida so rarely is too cold. Though my boy has woken up in the cool winters morning and hops into his fresh water dish!! He's crazy!!! I turn the heat on, or up give him towels to snuggle up to.. but often he then sun's himself in a nice morning sun window..

[@CrystalPest1234007]

My Cockatiel LOVES baths. I have to change her water multiple times a day during the summer. Her favorite time for a bath was when I was putting fresh water in she would hop in her dish and splash around, but ONLY if I was holding it. She also enjoys the spray bottle.

[@whytho7367]

Crystal Rose licky,my parrot biyes me when i try to bathe her

[@americanpro6980]

the patron saint of all things parrot, very cool ...

[@Jess-jt9qt]

LOOK at Picasso 😂😂😂 he’s just chillin in your shoulder lol

[@classicmail8239]

I love your care and attention to your birds, it's admirable. I'm glad Rocky is living free now it seems like you have a real dynamic family going on, it's great. Or as Gary Barlow would say, aaaabsolutely faaantastic!

[@ringsnroses7156]

My birds are now kinder to me! Thx to your tips Tysm!

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+Rosie IsWeird Wow, this is an amazing comment because if I can change one birds life for the better, it's all worth it, but YOU are the one making the amazing effort and watching videos to help your birds. You are a great person for doing so! Your birds are lucky to have you💚❤🐦💙!

[@18cuteaj19]

MARLENE MC'COHEN I'm might get birds and I'm watching your videos so it can help my bird if I ever get one at least

[@ujjainimukherjee2267]

MARLENE MC'COHEN I can't thank you enough for these videos, you cover alll the aspects I have queries on.... Can you also please upload a morning cage cleanup routine video... I would really appreciate that

[@linasoares8516]

My ecelectus male and female the male bird has been with me since 1+ month it is 5 yrs old but does not do step up but flies about when he needs to go in his cage. How do I train him with these skills? Thanks

[@MentalSubstance]

I have my parrot for a month now and I bathe her with a spray bottle for the first time today , she really liked it and became more active than before, started chewing things, she never did it before, didn't expected that.

[@dawgythegreat]

I dont even have a bird, what am I doing

[@mangothebird7282]

dawgy the great lol

[@podoo]

😂 literally me too. I've been watching parrot vids for the last 2 hours and I'm not even planning on getting a bird

[@karthikgMUSICisLIFEisMUSIC]

NO Problem You two - I was the same - watched it for hours/hours and hours and finally one day got myself a Pair of Cockatiels and a Ordered a Big custom cage from miles apart and spent a bomb on the set up. Thats how addictive this can be.. :) - But unlike other addictions - ILOVE THIS ADDICTION! SO --- Lets see you both after a few months ;)

[@fistedwolf1530]

I'm probaly getting one but I don't have one I'm probaly gonna get a green cheek conure or a cocktail

[@thecityfarmer7430]

I don’t either but there just so awesome

[@marieparsons3507]

Hey Marlene, I have a lot of plants to mist. I use a pressurized spray bottle rather than a regular spray bottle. I can adjust the nozzle down to a super fine mist. And, my hand doesn't get tired. For you, if you only fill it half full w water, the shower should be continuous until the water is nearly gone. (When you are done, you relieve the pressure by turning the bottle upside down and spraying out air.) I think you and your birds would all enjoy this a lot, especially via how fine you can make the mist. I'm thinking of Jersey here. Here's one I found on Amazon: Solo 418-2L 2-Liter One-Hand Pressure Sprayer.

[@NotaVampyre111]

I've had several birds. Most like the shower. Some like bathing under a faucet in the sink. The smaller birds are the ones that like the bowl of water most. I've noticed that they will often play in the water until they're drenched. I always tried to avoid that.

[@janetharmon2186]

you look fabulous in hot pink!

[@tecce2233]

what is the itching aid you give your bird? i could use that for mine if it is effective, my cockatiel has plucked for years ever since getting her wings stuck in the cage as a baby

[@HappyTailsAnimals]

good video. my galah love the spray bottle 😁

[@lilysgirltwins7261]

Omg Happy Tails you are one of my favorite pet KZbinr and I love you're corgi so much love your videos

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+Happy Tails Awe that's so cute! I love when they are excited about the spray bottle and they get all cute and happy🐦🤗

[@rayanbari3468]

OMG Happy Tails ur one of my favorite youtubers and I agree my cockatiel (dead now) used to love to get sprayed!!!

[@-north-2688]

Happy Tails omg happy tails ur my fav KZbinr

[@kershhybarchristmasedition3079]

I just put my cockatiel in the shower with lukewarm water and no soap. She loves it.

[@jimmybamslam]

I just put my Alexandrian onto the shower floor with luke warm water running out of the shower.... he loves it.

[@milly0474]

Wow it's amazing how you've changed your style in making videos u seem so professional in this one but now u are much more chill

[@hanademejane6086]

i'm getting a parrot i can't wait

[@Sophia-tb2cz]

it sucks how theres always conflicting opinions when it comes to parrot care. I've read that its fine to give your parrots regular baths in the winter as long as they have heat provided to keep themselves warm also parrots can not catch a cold- if their immune system has already been compromised by ABV or something then its possible that putting them in a cold environment after a bath can be especially risky and trigger an infection but no they wont catch a cold. In regards to feather aids, ive read that the best and only thing you should provide for baths is plain water although people have sworn that aloe baths have been great for their parrots while others say it makes the plucking worse. Anyway for my lil quaker, I give her a chance to take a bath 4-5 times/week and let her dry next to her uvb where its nice and warm for her, the regular baths really help loosen the pin feathers and reduce itching

[@bribri2111]

I have a question, when you give your birds a bath, do they dry themselves or do I have to use a towel and dry them?(i'm new to this...°-°

[@pyncheimiymbon7482]

They dry themselves. Just don't get them too wet

[@juicymango8905]

Thank you very informative

[@belle369]

Both of mine are petrified of water. I’ve tried misting gently, I’ve tried using the shower with them, I’ve tried just using a bowl of water, and I’ve tried the sink. I hope this video helps!

[@finchestomacaws563]

Wow this will be really helpful when I get my blue and gold macaw ty for this video!!😄

[@redhillseniors5470]

[@kenj7153]

[@KillerFknWolf]

Rocky's gorgeous. he's effing heeeewgge!!

[@kerriehughes3181]

Really helpful videos! Thank you x

[@goldenslimes9421]

Can I get a bottle from the dollar store? Or should I get one from the pet store

[@auroradalton7839]

Golden Slimes you can get one any were

[@carlyromenesko3457]

Marlene, your videos are super helpful! I've been binge watching them for the past few days. I'm trying to rescue my first bird from a shelter, but I'm not sure what to look out for, especially since many shelter birds need extra attention and may have mental and physical health issues. I know there will be difficulties, but I'm not up for a HUGE challenge right away. What should I look out for? Any advice?

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+Carly Romenesko is hard to know because they ate all so different. I got Picasso from a shelter and he was so loving right away. The thing is that no matter what there may be a process, he may be shy or scared. I thibk the main thing to do is meet the bird and see if you feel enough for him to put the work in. The real thing that everyone should know is that our takes time, even my Vinny is still making developments today and is been years, same with rocky. If you treat them right and don't lock them up they will get Better and Better and tamer and tamer, so have patience. You may get lucky, he may be easy right away but most of the time you need a lot of patience. Sometimes just being near him and not expecting him to be living right away will need to be enough.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+MARLENE MC'COHEN so many typos sorry, this phone is hard to type on.

[@XDataDoctorX]

Your videos makes many of us jealous :) The way you care for birds makes me wish I am rather born as a bird than human. I will attach wings & a beak adopt me :D

[@carlyromenesko3457]

Thanks, Marlene!

[@ChickenPlague]

Carly Romenesko I'd get a parakeet for a starter

[@leon9917]

i didn't know that the birds must to have a bath thanks for the videos.

[@dinogirl_]

I'm Australian and it's weird hearing people say rose breasted cockatoo or galah cockatoo, we just call them galahs and they're turds and like to rip up stuff like the cockatoos (when I say cockatoo I'm referring to the surfer crested cockatoo)

[@fearnotliz]

Marlene I could really use your help . I adopted a 16 year old African Grey and he hates water . I’ve been so patient but he’s looks stinky . What can I do ???

Ok so I heard from one of your videos that they need a little bit of a warm temperature. And I was thinking about getting a bird, but I have a problem. One of my animals is a chinchilla. And chinchillas need it to be cold in the house. So is there temperature that you would suggest? (Btw I love your videos!)
