Pooter my White Bellied Caique Whistles, Sings and waves bye-bye

Pooter sings while getting a blow dry then waves bye-bye at the end.

Pooter is very cute but please be careful. Blow dryers heat up the ceramic in the hot air and can poison your bird. Whenever I blow dry my hair I keep my caiques in the other room.

I have heard that you should never, ever blow-dry your bird with a blow-dryer, that it was poisonous to them.

@mvisicaro Wow, I did not know that, thank you for the tip. The blow dryer that I use is a heavy-duty (professional) dryer called the "Silver Solano" and it's made mostly of very heavy metal. I am not sure if it has ceramic in it, but I will check to make sure. I have been using this dryer for years on the birds and around them w/o any problem, but will definitely use caution now. I am aware of the non-stick pan issue with birds and read that the temperature has to be very high for it to occur.
