Take this quiz to get an idea of what bird is right for you!

I'm glad it's okay for her to give me company on the shower. I like to think of that as bonding time haha. I keep forgetting to try the shirt hanger as a swing for her.

I tried the blow dryer (lowest setting /temp) last week and she was NOT pleased.

Some parrots absolutely love blow driers and others are afraid of them. I think it has a lot to do with the age it is first introduced and the level and pitch of noise the drier makes at their first experience. If it is a fairly quiet or low frequency sound, it's a lot more likely to go over well with a tiel. Although they are loud little beasties, they have sensitive ears which are hurt by high volume sounds or high pitched whines. You will know when a cockatiel is uncomfortable with a sound when they start shaking their head from side to side, as though they were trying to flick water out of their ears.
