how you dry the parrot with the dryer?? is it hot air or cold air?? i never seen before drying a bird with dryer..

[rabbletease]

A blow dryer, warm air, you need to hold it back from them. It is not good to leave a parrot sit around wet. Someone told me about using a warm dryer awhile back and she loves it. Sometimes she gets really animated and talkative from the dryer but the camera kept her kinda quiet this time.

Be careful when drying your bird with a hair dryer. most hair dryers contain teflon that is very very very harmful. You could be blowing deadly fumes at your bird.

I just leave my birds in a warm room. either that or drop a towel next to them. they just rubbed against it.

There are many ways parrots bathe. Some like a shallow dish of water, some like a spray bottle. (You DON'T SPRAY DIRECTLY at them, but up in the air, & let the water "rain" down on them) Others like wet lettuce leaves to roll around in. Mine have their own perch in the shower(half in the spray, half out). It sometimes takes trial & error to figure out their preference.

You service hair dryers??.....

Well I have been given the advice about drying my parrots in this fasion. Its better to let them dry out on thier own so then can preen. And also many hair dryers DO infact have Teflon on the inside. Try google it should tell you.

that could kill the bird so b carful he is so qute by the way

I wish my parrots liked being dried like this. Max, my green-cheek Amazon, runs up to my shoulder and just doesn't like the air or sound of the drier. The towel does most of the work and time does the rest. Besides, how do wet birds dry themselves in the wild after a strong rain?

[StormyMaxPerry]

I beg to differ. I've serviced many hair dryers and there's no PTFE ot TFE materials inside. Those plastics have no reason to be inside a device such as a hair dryer. You'll find much higher temperature stuff, mostly mica or ceramic based. Teflon is a non-stick coating. What's inside of a hair drier needing that?
