He's a handsome chap!

Do you mist/spray him particularly in the heat at all?

Thank you Spraying is an area we are working on, he's terrified of water. I do try to spray him often, but I end up in his bad books for days.

Oh ok - we've got one and he isn't overly fond of being sprayed, but the budgies and cockatiels love it.

I just wondered, but I know you have a very good camera, as his feathers looked slightly "harsh" and the water would soften them. As said though, could well be your close up lens.

It probably is from not getting sprayed enough. I had Cockatiels and they loved water, they would sit under the taps for ages.

He would go back shellshocked as our youngest is being a right pain at the moment,trying it on with the others and thinking all the ropes and toys are only hers to play with.Today i found a picture when she was only a few weeks old next to my xbox controller,no wonder she has to sit with me when im playing.
