Posted July 13, 200817 yr Roxy now that she is feeding herself is getting messy and still is not good at cleaning herself.She has alot of dried food in her feathers around her beak and also walks through her food and poos so her tail and tummy are dirty too. I have tried cleaning her with a warm washer but it still not get it all out. How would be a good way to clean her without upsetting her, she is only 4 1/2 weeks old.
July 13, 200817 yr I use warm water and a face washer sroking in the direction of the feathers. If the food is still stuck, you might need to dip her gently into the water to soften it more. If the water is the right temperature she shouldn't mind. Then hold her close to your body until she is fully dry I have not used soap before, but a baby soap may be okay to use??
