That's how I first discovered how much suns love to bathe. I actually found him bathing in his water dish. I had to get him one with a cover otherwise he'll bathe in it.
I've actually heard several people say Skittles is rather big for a sun conure. I can't even fit half my hand around him.
I think it's the water flowing that sets him off. Whenever I use the restroom or pour a drink, he'll wag his tongue.
Yeah, it is cute. But it makes for 'awkward' trips to the restroom. LOL. I make sure and keep the toilet seat down anyways. Last thing I need is for him to bathe or drink from the toilet.
I remember a scene from 'Uncle Buck' where he was letting the dog drink out of the toilet and when he was talking to his sister in law he said to her, 'that explains the blue colored poop all over the lawn'. LOL.
Skitty is such a riot though. He will bug me for a treat and he'll go to town with it - but at soon as I leave the room or even get up from my chair he drops his treat and flies to me. Like daddy is more important than his treat. It's sweet.
Hey Bro I was just curious... being this is my first Sun Conure and you have had one a while.. wondering if mine was...hmm.. unusual. He makes some very odd "happy sounds" I have never heard from a bird.. its not a hiss.. its more of a " squissssssssssh squisssssssssssh" sound... Does Skitty do that too? Just wondering.. thanks
