NOT ABOUT FARTS.
I've noticed since Waffle started puberty she is 1) bathing less and 2) not smelling very good.
When she was a baby, she had a pleasant, grain-type smell. Now I always say she smells like a stinky Cheeto. Yesterday she climbed up on my sweetie and he said, "Ugh, she smells like butt!"
I put her in the shower today, which she does enjoy. But I can't figure out what would make a domestic bird stinky? I'm just generally curious as I know she is not the only stinky bird out there (ahem, @Peachfaced). They don't sweat, right? Is it the oil in their preening glands? Her poo has sort of a sweet smell and it's definitely not that.
