A One Hour Shower - Starring "Romeo" - Blue & Gold Macaw

in #animal6 years ago


Romeo likes to shower a few times a week and takes longer showers than anybody in the house. He is 4 years old and his longest shower was hours. We like to give him a shower on days where we know we will be leaving him alone for a long number of hours, though for him a long number of hours is 6. He doesn't like to be away from us but will spend the whole day grooming himself and keeps him busy enough to not really want to be bothered. Even after he is dry he doesn't like to be "scratched' too much, he doesn't want his feathers all messed up. He is a really special member of the family, it's hard to call him a pet and any Macaw only would know exactly what I am talking about. I have broken this 1.5 hour shower into something hopefully the right length for enjoyment. I hope you like it!

My video is not produced, but even so an amazing parrot and neat is visible :)

Video is uploaded through my uploader, and it's playing for me (almost instant!)

i was just telling someone on discord about this, this was a really fat file, i forgot to use handbrake and it wouldn't run on my i9 32bg Corsair....pinned it. runs on my i3 laptop, actually pinned on my i3 laptop node. Amazing tech for sure @techcoderx That video uploaded straight through DTube would have failed, mulitiple times until the bottleneck opens up. Instant!

thank you very much! This is the stuff we learn on discord @vostokarmy @onelovedtube @techcoderx created the OneloveDTube Uploader and you should try it out, it's amazing. Almost as amazing as parrot hugs!!

Uh oh! Couldn't watch it.. It's like, you're ready for a shower Rome and stuck there.. for.. ever. T^T

he loves it so much, he is really shy for the camera still, he usually talks a lot more but he knew he was being filmed. have to keep working with him. glad you got to see him naked :)

I have tried it with Mango and he loves to sit for hours preening make sure he is the perfect specimen. I have a squirty bottle that I also use to spray him on hot days and he spreads his wings out and dries in the sun.
I have stopped taking him in personally to the shower as it is hectic as the claws and beak become serious weapons. I like your set up with the perch and think instead of having a stand I will work something out.

He used to shower on my back ... he would come in in my shoulder and I would do my morning stretches but when we left the country and he stayed here I set this perch up... works perfectly cause I can remove it :) I can show you how I did it if you want :) not too hard at all

Wow, I had no idea people gave baths to their birds haha

haha, they live in the rain forest and get daily baths and love it
Romeo loves it!!!

When he got soaked was hilarious hahah, beautiful animal man

thank you,,i love watching him play in the water :) he really is a beautiful creature.

Fantastic video!!! He takes a bath alone !!! amazing!!

yea, he loves it so much...tonight he will be really happy cause the day after a show he is really to cuddle again and so clean :)

I can see that he really likes the water! He wasn't in any hurry to get out, was he? :-)
