Having a quakertude problem

[Tony2010laurie]

Hi just wanted to stop by and say hello from va....i have a quaker parrot name kiwi that is great. He talks a little and demands "kisses" all the time, but i always have issues trying to bathe him, he only likes to dunk his bottem in his freshly changed water bowl, and he hates being misted sprayed showered, or dripped on....what do i do i am new to the bird world and would love some info on quakers....thanks for reading

Leave him alone. Quakers are great bathers and always keep themselves impeccably clean so there is no need to stress him out forcing him to accept something they don't like. Sometimes, they require something of a learning curve for an efficient bath so they would start with just a little wet here and there when they are young but get better and more confident as they get older.
