My Quaker Cujo somehow pooped or managed to get a poop on top of his tail feathers. Honestly don’t know how he pulled it off.
So at first it was funny to me, I though that’s odd I’m sure he’ll clean it off. Nope. So a day goes by and I give a little spray bottle shower, which usually prompts some preening. Nope still there. Next day set up a bath for him, he goes hog wild has a blast but the poop is still ther. By now I have becomed obsessed with it and tried to help him out. I got most of it off just playing with him and a using a damp towel, but now he knows I’m up to something and it is game on. I can’t get anywhere near that tail now. It’s been a week.
So now I’m left with two options literally grab him (which we both hate, I save the grab move for emergency evacuation or vet travel cage) or wait until that tail feather falls out. Lol it’s alway a chess game with parrots, it’s never easy.
It cracks me up having a battle of wills with a 102g parrot, meanwhile I just watched my wife give our dog a bath ( apparently I don’t do it right ) and I swear she washed that dog with in an inch of its life and she just sat there like “crap! I guess this is happening.” Lured the dog into the bathroom with the same treat we use for everything, meanwhile I’m not getting another shot at this Quaker’s tail until 2023!
