I am sorry, I read saw your response about rinsing after I posted my question. I think it is great that your Macaws are outdoors and go in the pool. The reason I asked was I could never find any information on the effects of chlorine and as your stated your birds are obviously well taken care of and look very happy. I wanted to know if you had to do anything special to keep the chlorine from damaging their feathers, and was glad to see all that is needed is a good rinse. I would love to let my Macaws go for a swim and might try it now. I understand what you mean about the critisim of some people on this site and I understand that there are things that could make my Birds sick, and I take percautions but I do not go overboard. If I let all the what if's control my life, I would have to pull my daughter out of school everytime a notice comes home warning us of some contagious something or other. So I apologize if you felt I was questioning your judgement. I just wanted to know what to do to keep the chlorine from damaging thier feathers and giving a good rinse makes sense. I are very lucky to be in an area where your Birds can be outside most of the year. I know my Zazoo would love it, He eally hates the winter months and having to be cooped up inside.
