So there I was, finishing up the dishes, and Mistletoe flew over to me, missed me as usual, and landed right in the greasy dregs of the dishwater, uneaten Brussel sprouts from my kids' plates and all. Eeewwwww.... I picked him up and turned on the water and my husband said, "Oooh, he's not gonna like that at all," but I rinsed off Mistletoe's feet and his greasy little tail and he acted as if it were the most normal thing in the world for me to repeatedly run my lightly pinched fingers down the length of his tail in the stream of running water.  I guess this means Mistletoe will like the shower. Now I need to buy him one of those nifty shower perches. I'm imagining what my hubby will say when he sees the perch affixed to the shower wall. |

Haha, Santa. I can understand why you wouldn't want a bird rooting thru your wet beard. Heehee. Sounds fun to me, though, IF he stays on the perch. I found one on etsy for $14. Didn't order it yet because I want to check amazon. So I've now checked amazon, and they want quite a lot more than the lady on etsy does. I ordered one from her. |

Hehe I don't like the idea of a bird in the shower either. I like to give her baths while I'm fully clothed and when it's not "me" time. I'm not even a mother and showers are my escape hahaha

Cute story Pammy. It also is a reminder to be careful about our feathered friends. One day I was doing something in the kitchen and Sweetie flew in and landing on a burner on my stove. I wasn't cooking but thought, oh my, that could really hurt if I had been cooking.

Yes, it is a good reminder to be careful. I got pretty safety-confident with the budgies, because there's no way any of them would fly to me while I'm cooking, but Mistletoe would. I will have to remember to close him into his cage when burners are hot.

The most common injuries, poisonings and fatalities that happen among captive birds occur in the kitchen. It is always better to have them caged whenever you are working in the kitchen at all: be that cooking or cleaning with any kind of chemical.
