African grey parrot

[largatha]

My African Grey parrot Largatha has become very dusty and dry. I spray her with water. Is there anything I can do to keep her feathers from being dry. She is almost nine years old. We moved from Sacramento CA to Helena Mt about 5 years ago. We have no vets here that take care of birds. So looking for suggestions. We give fruits and vegetables and along with browns bird food that contains pellets

Well if you have had her for 9yrs then you are well aware greys are dusty and dry.
Does she like showers or bathing?
I take mine into the shower with me on a stand perch. She gets exposed to high humidity and a very light mist(she doesn't normally enjoy bathing). This seems to help without making her too mad. I also have a humidifier for when the humidity is low in the house which means most of the time.
Also I don't trust the suction cup style shower perches. I fashion a lanyard to them so if the cups fail the perch doesn't fall.
Wet birds have all the aerodynamic qualities of a rock.
