Hi all,

I am curious to see if any of you wash your Greys' feet, especially when they are very young.

My thinking is, even if I clean his cage daily and remove mess as soon as I see it, he still has to walk around in whatever is left.

Aka managed to get mess underneath his ring today so I had to clean that off, but I'm thinking should I make this a regular occurrence to reduce the amount of bacteria and germs he is exposed to?

Do you do that? Is it necessary?

Thanks

We're all mad here.

Adult birds tend to keep their feet clean. Jane

I wash her feet as soon as I notice. Haz
