A short video of Ruby in the shower on her sandy perch. She is 8 months old now and still not sure about the water but is slowly getting used to it. She is allowing us to put the water on her front, but not her back or overhead as she just flies off overhead or on her back (as you will see lol)

Film ruby in your back yard
How old was this cutie in this video,she looks small. My african is 3 years
old and he doesn’t like water
@ErickLazcon4 That statement is like the funniest thing anyone’s ever said.
i always taught water was bad for parrots
i hope the water is warm
good to see good bird owners out there it is good for birds to get showers
occasionally since their feathers carry a lot of dust etc
I thought you would have to buy like some type of bird bath for these type
of parrots… wait how often do birds take a bath
I don´t have a parrot but from what I´ve seen on Youtube some parrots like
to bathe in water bowls, some like showers and some like to be sprayed with
flower sprayers. Perhaps you would like to watch Charlie douchen by
lievedisney. Maybe your parrot could watch, too – I don´t know if they
understand films very well but it really looks like Charlie has fun and it
might be worth a try.
HAPPY late BIRTHDAY!
@ranmainuyashalover how much cost one?
that is NOT a happy parrot! o.0
i was searching “football fights” look what i got!
Ruby is so sweet. She is so well behaved.
I probably wouldn’t soak my bird like this …. this isn’t abuse but the
bird doesn’t look that happy. Unless their is poop or something on the
bird, soaking prolly isn’t a good idea.
Not all birds like showers. Some prefer baths. I’ve never had to teach my
birds how to bathe, I just gave them a dish of water and after a few
tenative steps in there was water everywhere and the result was drenched
parrots happily preening. ‘Showering’ is not natural for a bird, and if
your bird is showing fear instead of interest, curiosity and excitement
when you are training it, then something is wrong with your technique.
Birds should trust their owners completely and never have fear.
@AzureClarity xD haha that’s what my parrot does. He’ll walk around and
take care of himself while i do the dog and myself.
The bird doesn’t want a shower.
What a real gorgeous bird. You are so lucky and she absolutely loved her
home with such a nice family.
same lol. mine just screams and swears at us. so to wash her we usually
just fill the tub with about an inch or two of water and let her play
around.
My bird likes taking her baths in her water bowl cause that’s the only
thing she likes
If you still have problems showering your bird, get a spray bottle at the
store. Put it on the mist setting. My cockatoo loves when I mist her.
I am sorry by my grey parrot hates to be in a shower
she had enough at the end…
A great bond you have there.. such a sweet bird!
look at u your all wet
My cockatiel hates the shower but loves getting misted with a spray bottle.
@boosub WTF NO MY PARROT IS NOW DIED CUZ I SHOWERD IT :s
1st- i compliment this owner for giving her bird a shower–which they do
need on a regular basis. in the rainforest, where most parrots come from,
they get frequent rain showers and they love those showers–you can see
videos of that. 2- in this case, the bird isn’t totally enjoying her
shower. as some have pointed out, if you watch videos of birds that love
it, they open wings and ‘get into it.’ 3- even so, this bird is FINE–she
is clearly full-flighted and can leave at any time–as she does
shes so calm compared to other parrots
my grey despises showers, he just flies away and goes mental
she is so cute. i wish my ash would take a shower he hates water..
I kinda wish I had a bird. They’re so intelligent.
Not entirely true. If a bird/animal trusts their owner, they will let them
put them in situations that they aren’t entirely comfortable with. It isn’t
always necessarily fight or flight. Sometimes there is trust. This bird
looks very trusting. If this bird were enjoying the shower, it would be
flapping and not standing still. It could be that it is a new experience
and it learns to enjoy it, or it could be that the bird hates it but
doesn’t know what to do in that situation.
It’s definitely obvious you know how a bird feels and how it looks when
it’s terrified. Please go spew your shit elsewhere.
poor parrot:(
very cute
cute my bird are cute to
Aww 🙂
looks kinda like a pigeon
it varies a lot…i mean ive seen greys online for $3K in NY where i
live..sometimes 2K..it completely varies by the age of parrot…the
breeder..whether its already weened/hand fed..anyway its very complicated
but usually over 1K..hope that helps
what a nice bird!
my bird hates showers…..he just wants a bowl full of water so he can go
dive into it!! lolz they smell sooo bad when they r wet!! yyuukk
omg the tail is butiful my girl plucks and she is a king grey 🙁
She looks petrified hahaha, occasionally tilting her head
how do you dry her after showers?
Gawd Damn Hippies -nixion-
