Harley, a Timneh African Grey; and fond memories of a thousand Finsters, and Peanut, a green-rumped parrotlet who died in 2006.

Bath Time #3

Posted on: 07/03/09, 20:57:39 | 2 comments | link
I don't keep water dishes everywhere that Harley sits, since that would mean yet another water dish for me to wash, and I'm really lazy. So instead, I bring the water dish from his cage to him when I think he might want a drink, or if he says "You ready for bed" really loudly when it isn't even close to bed time.

I offered him a drink on his tree this evening, and he decided it was time for both of us to have a bath. Baths are much better on his tree than in his house (picture pops), since those pesky cage walls aren't in the way. No video, sorry, but if you scroll down pretty fast you'll get the same effect. The bath lasted more than five minutes:

Do Not Try This At Home

Freezie Pops, or Squeezie Pops, as they're often called in our house, are a summer confection that — despite the package's claim that they contain some fruit juice — probably have no redeeming value. I'm pretty sure that food packages can claim fruit juice content even if there's only a tiny bit of actual juice in there, and I'd bet a dollar that's the case with these. Frankly, despite their Cold Summer Fun, I'm pretty sure they might even be bad for you, since I think my urine turned ever so slightly green after I ate an orange one the other day.

Even so, Harley likes them:
Harley loves freeze pops
Now that we've learned Harley likes frozen sweet things, we'll make an organic all-fruit smoothie and put it in a cleaned, used plastic sleeve, and see what happens. He'll probably ignore it.
