Pigeon bath

[auroraborealis]

Thank you all!

Rocky is now able to flap his wings again and I will try today to put in his bath. I don't think, Alvin, that I will see him bathe much...he just sits on the perch we made him and when we are around he has this stuffed bird straight out of a nature museum look.

I tried to wash his wounds with a damp towel and he flapped his wings at me and even the feathers at the back of his head fluffed up. He really scared me!

So I'll leave the old boy a tub.

I just caught this thread and wanted you to know that Rocky won't hurt you with a wing slap. That is only a defense mechanism that they use so keep cleaning his wound if you need to although it may be healed enough now to stop doing it.

It's wonderful that you are taking care of him.
