No matter what size bowl or other special effects I put in the cage she only uses that. She will also bathe, when I do the first load of laundry in the morning. I read about using the washer when my husband first got her over 6 yrs ago. I used to have the routine of taking both her and my Moluccan in the shower with me in the morning, but I no longer do this cuz I shower at night now & am afraid it is not good to let them sit around wet at night. So now if I could stop the barbering and plucking I would be so happy!! I have a female Solomon Island Eclectus that takes a bath ONLY in her water bowl.

He was given to me a year ago tomorrow. He has gone through a lot in the year I have had him. His momma (God rest her soul) was a chain smoker and was diagnosed with cancer so thats how I got him. I taimed him and now he is the biggest love. The only problem I have now is getting him to bathe. He is scared of a spray bottle and isnt very fond of being in the shower with me. I have tried letting him do it himself in the sink but he panicks and tries to climb out. Any suggestions?? Also, off topic, his hips are stuck out, I know its from lack of exercize any suggestions as well?? He is doing wonderful otherwise. He loves being in the car with us. He just had a 16 hour road trip with us and sat on my shoulder the whole time. I love my boy. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
