Running water and/or paper & plastic bags

[GeminiJoe]

What is is about the sound of running water or a paper or plastic bag being handled that gets my parrots chirping loudly or even screaming sometimes.

Lol... my birds never need a reason to just scream and let me know all about it. However, if they hear running water, they start flapping themselves silly to get a bath, even if they just had one a couple hours ago, lol.

Yeah My Caique and Half moon were in the bathroom with me while I was shaving and the Caique decided she wanted a bath so she flew off the towel rack and started flapping around in the sink.

I always make sure the water is luke warm and it isn't running too hard.

If I don't have Charlie with me when I turn the faucet on, he'll scream! If he can, he'll fly to me and bite me for not bringing him along! However, if I bring him along, he'll scream a little, even get close to the water, but he wont take a bath. He'll stand in front of me while I do dishes but gets upset if I move him out of the way - he'll just run back anway!

However, he used to be worse! So bad in fact that if I had him anywhere near running water he'd bite the snot out of me every time!

Lol... water, a birds aphrodisiac. Did I spell that right? Poor neglected Charlie.... NOT! Oooops... I meant, poor mommy...
