Big decision to make - need help. Do I go get Cocoa?

About the bath...any suggestions for how long I should wait or what I should try? My guys bath in water bowls. That's definitely not going to work!
Mist only for a long while.

You can get a bottle at Wal Mart or dollar store even. I have a pvc stand that is low to the ground. I put the bird on it in the shower and mist ABOVE the bird so it gently falls on them. I sit on the floor in front of the bird.

If you have an aluminum travel cage, you can take her out in the sunshine and mist out there while she basks in fresh sunshine. Other travel carriers will rust.

Sing and be silly when you're misting them, they seem to thrive on that.

I hope no one ever hears me singing "bath time for birdies"........I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

By the way, Secret crawls into her water bowl for a bath of her own from time to time.

Congrats! I'm glad you decided to get her! I swear birds that need you the most are often the best bonds you'll make! Good luck on your new adventures!!

Yay! You got her! I'm a little late to this thread and was just about to give my pep talk about how I went from a tiel to a too, but you already got her. :) That's so wonderful. And she steps up! How great. My Elvis still doesn't believe in stepping up after over 5 months. And I know everyone says there's a honeymoon period, etc. But Elvis has stayed the same sweet bird as he was since day one. Hopefully, your new cutie will too. Congrats!

I don't know much about amazons, but I think you should definitely get her!

Yay! I'm so glad you got her too, and can't wait to hear more about her as you both get to know each other better. She's beautiful!
