Oh. poor Louie is starting into his first molt and he has sooo many itchy quillies that I knew he would appreciate a nice long bath . So today we played and he was brave and bold and now his quillies have softened and he is feeling much better

Just wanted to share

Hey

Good to hear that a bath helped. Cisco wants to bathe almost every day - he loves to slpash around and make a huge mess !!!. He just got a whole bunch of new head and neck feathers and my wife was able to take on the task of quill removal. She is able to tell which one are ready to come off and which ones are not. It made for a great bonding exp for those two and he goes to her for all of his lovins. I get the honor of giving a few head skritches now and then but for the serious stuff - its mommy time!!!!

I've always enjoyed the molting time because I can get lost just having them sit and enjoy the attention...I can relate you your wife...I hope my nails grow out more before he starts really needing them...lost 'em all during the move!

What cute pictures, yes I think the water helps to soften and make them not hurt as much. Speaking of that, I need to go give Chili a little spray bath.
