African grey bathing advise required please?

My boyfriend has had an african grey for about a year and a half and he is about 2 1/2 years old now. We have noticed that whenever he gets a bath (is he bathed in the bathtub) once he is back in his cage he always wants to put his feet in his water and seems slightly agitated. Is this something we should be worried about? I have tried searching through websites but can't seem to find anything about another african grey doing this.African grey bathing advise required please?
Nothing to worry about.





Get a shallow pan (a corningware glass rectangular cake pan is what my eclectus likes to use) and fill it with one to two inches of water. Allow your parrot to bathe himself. That's really what he wants to do.African grey bathing advise required please?
That is soooo funny. Mine and someone else who commented does the same thing. Once they are wet, they want to keep playing, so as soon as they get back to the cage they finish bathing in their drinking water. Mine dips its tail feathers, head and feet in and makes a general mess of the entire room. I've tried to give her a bathing bowl on the cage bottom but it's not the same, she wants to bathe in her water bowl.
maybe he just wasn't finished playing in the water.Let him play for a bit after his bath.My Macaw does that when she wants back in the water.We give her showers on my hubbys arm under the shower.She has been know to stay and play for 30 minutes before.Loves her showers.
your bird hasn't finished his bath. my macaw takes showers with me and if he does not get enough water he will go straight to his water dish,try to get in it,spill it, then throw it. give your bird a perch or a way out of the tub and he will let you know when he is done.

Usually Greys are not avid bathers... :) It's just their personality. Perhaps he's cold when removed from the humid environment of the bathroom? Take a few minutes in the bathroom (perhaps bring a T-stand with you) and let him shake off and relax a bit before returning to the cooler environment of the rest of the house.
parrots love bathing! i dont think he was finished!! mine always go in their water bowl for a bath!!
Our African grey used to try and bathe in his water dish is this what yours could be doing? We used to spray ours with water as he was nervous about climbing into a bowl etc for a bath. Perhaps yours wants to bathe longer? Also check the water isnt too hot or cold for him.
Mine does this too, so do my Macaws. We spray them with a water bottle because non of them like the tub or shower. We give them a good spraying with warm water. They always finish off in their water dishes. Go figure. It's not something to worry about.
