hair dryer/blower recommendations?...

[AmyMyBlueFront]

… Amy joined me for a shower this morning,she loves it and gets totally soaked thru and thru,flapping and screeching in a joyous bliss.I have always wrapped her in a towel afterwards,pat her down,roll her around..she tolerates that and makes a game out of it by chewing the towel and kicking at it but is never aggressive/p.o. at me for doing it,but it doesn't get her completely dry or more like dry to my satisfication,so I went looking for a hair dryer. I KNOW no Teflon but the dozen or so that I looked at at WallyMart had NO info on what they were made of
I saw a couple that mentioned 'ceramic" but I am clueless on what to do or what to get..help/ideas folks?
I also looked for a scale but the only ones were the types that weigh food and nowhere really for a birdie to perch/sit. Amy might stand on one of those long enough to get a reading but the beebs would be running around in seconds.
going to check Amazon and see what the offer I guess.

I use a radiant heat panel, my birds sit in front abd dry that way. I got my scale at Walmart and put a square casserole dish on it BB would be able to perch on that too like my little ones.

My Conair Cord-Keeper 1875 is supposedly safe: model -e256185
I called, but I don't use it often, so I am assuming they were correct...

I saw that exact same model today! Pretty inexpensive too. TY!

What! On the rare occasion Enzo takes a good bath she will find a warm spot or simply on my PC monitor and preens for ages, nice and quietly for a change..... I really enjoy the peace

When I called, I just asked about PTFE, PFOA (abbreviations + full names) and Teflon. So, it reportedly has none of those in it, but I didn't know to look for other fluorinated compounds at the time, so those are the 3 I checked.

I have never used a hair dryer on the parrots but I have used them on my Polish chickens. Beyond the safety issues there are two features t are nice to have for birds. Find a model that allows a slower speed and blowing cool, warm or hot air. The warm air at a low speed seems to work well without being too traumatic for them.
