 ST> Do you give her baths???  If she doesn't like to take her own
 ST> bath did you try spraying her???  Do you have air condtioning??
 DE> I spray Balth on an every-other-day basis. she gets a spray for being
 DE> good  too. She likes to jump into the spray, it's cute.
       Good....you are lucky...Scoobie loves his...but only every three 
       days...not two...three...;-)  He is cute...he lifts his wings 
       and does a little dance while I spray him...on the other hand...
       Princess/Dumbo runs as fast as her legs will carry her away 
       from the spray...;-)
 ST> If she is warm and uncomfortable spraying her is what she
 ST> wants...Scoobie loves to be sprayed...Princess doesn't but is
 ST> learning to...she never did...but when I held her under the
 ST> faucet...she decided that Scoobie must know something she
 ST> didn't...and is more receptive now...;-)
 DE> WEll, if I had somebody to spray me, I'd be happy. :+)
       He hehe...isn't this the truth...;-)
 DE> But, we're moving the computer's, so she'll be in the NEW and IMPROVED
 DE> computer room(it's closer to my bed room.) and that room is flea
 DE> infested. What dhould I do? I'm going to take all of the pets out of
 DE> the house, and bomb  it, but what do I do to keep them away?
       I have no idea..you are going to have to ask the experts here...I
       had a cat before I got the birds...and fought fleas all the 
       time...;-) What I used then might not be good for the birds...so 
       I think you need the advice from someone else on this one...;-)
 ST> nails...my eyes aren't  what they use to be...but I don't think
 ST> I'll have a problem with  the wings...;-)
 DE> I have 20/20 vision. The only one in my family. Later on the
 DE> Astigmatism in  my right eye might get worse, but I can trim and cut
 DE> and do anything to Blath's talons and wings. She needs a talon trimming
 DE> soon. Now where is that blood clotter? Oh well, she might not be
 DE> getting that trim after all. She has a tendency to move right when I
 DE> cut so I catch the quick of the talon  quite often.
       Well the wing and nail cutting is done...didn't go too well...
       Princess still wants to fly...woke me up at 4am right after the 
       clipping...she was flapping around in the cage...scarred the 
       dickens out of me and Scoobie...I tried to calm him down and then
       work with her...she was so scarred she didn't want to calm 
       down...she bled all over me...so I wouldn't put her back in the 
       cage till she did...I think the trauma of the clipping must have 
       caused a nightmare...since then I've left a nightlight on for her
       and haven't had a recurrence...;-)
 ST> He heh e...it does seem like more than it really is...but they
 ST> are beautiful after a molt...Princess is only 5 months old and
 ST> her new feathers seem much brighter than before...she is a
 ST> lutino and beautiful...;-)  Scoobie is a grey and he is pretty
 ST> too...;-)
 DE> Well, there is nothing as beautiful as a baby bird after it's first
 DE> molt. At least nothing in the animal kingdom.
       Mine were beautiful..but Scoobie doesn't have any tail feathers 
       left...she pulled the broken ones out...so now he is real 
       short...;-) And Princess/Dumbo has beautiful tail feathers but 
       she is a little funny looking...without her long wings...;-)
       But they will grow soon enough...I'm not going to let it get out 
       of hand...Scoobie never had a problem being clipped...but poor 
       little Princess didn't take it well at all...and I don't want her
       traumatized like this again...;-)
