652.0. "Stinky Feet? No - it is our Bird!" by CSOA1::DIRRMAN () Fri Jan 17 1992 08:36

    This may sound strange - but I have a question about our Blue Crowned
    Conure. He smells like old socks! He bathes fairly regular and this
    smell comes and goes within a matter of minutes. We think he is around
    4 years old and we haven't changed his food (although we are not
    ruling out anything.) I would appreciate ANY instite - or anything we
    can do. 'Cause when he smells - WHEW - He really smells!
    
    		Thanks in advance ---

	Chewy too (red lored amazon). my opinion is that big birds smell like sneakers or dirty socks. now that it is winter, i try to bathe chewy once a week to keep the smell down. i spritz him once or twice (not too much cause i don't want him to catch a cold) just about every day in the winter because it's so dry as well -- it seems to help both with that distinct smell and with his dandruff. t
