Grooming

[obeck]

So I took Kiwi to the groomer on Saturday. Whole way there he's in the car chit chatting away with me. Having a great time. Lovin the car ride. I get there and they take him and he looks at me like "Mom, I cannot believe you're letting them do this to me." He didn't talk to me again until Sunday night when I gave him an almond. I was out of them. I had to go to the grocery store get him almonds, just so my bird would talk to me again. Fids these days.

I always turn my back and walk away while Zilla is being groomed, then I come back and "save" her from the evil groomers! She is always glued to me for about 2 days after they dare to touch her...LOL

Okay, so we have grooming parlours for dogs here - and I have a poodle so I'm well used to those - but you take your parrots to be groomed? This is a new concept for me! What is it that they do?

Grooming a parrot in Zillas case is getting her nails clipped/filed and her wings clipped.

She showers and blow dries at home

Haha love it! That makes sense. My mind was going all over the place...was imagining amazons with mohawks and whatnot.....

OMG! That is my strategy! I always made my ex take the children in the room for their shots and I got to be the savior afterwards.

Oliver is good with the "groomer" but it's me...can't handle him in any discomfort so I slink away from where he's at to avoid distracting him or upsetting him...very similar to when my kids were young....
