Chook's new passion - the hairdryer
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:20 pm
Hi everyone,
Yet again, I have crazy bird antics happening in my home. I'm in Australia and its bloody cold here at the moment. So cold that each morning I have to break the thin layer of ice on my cattle's water trough.
Anyway, my IRN Chook has decided that bathing in his water dish is a bit too cool for him. He joins me in the shower and has a bath then sits on my towel until I'm finished. I then have to put him on a pillow in front of my mirror and blow dry him with the hair dryer. I have to stand about 1 metre back otherwise he gets blown right off!! He loves it. He sits there turning himself into the warm air and lifting his wings and preening himself until he is completely dry.
The bird has taken his behaviour to yet another bizare level.
Until next incident......
