Sure looks great!

Lol, Willow got her monthly dose of coconut oil... it's hard not to laugh when she's literally running up and down the back/sides of the cage trying to get away from you. And I think she eats about 1/3 of what I get on her, anyway.

But.... it does wonders for dry feet and facial skin, and makes that beak look young again.

Parrot spa day?

Tom..I'm subscribed to "Mr Max TV". I've been a fan of Max and his parront Dan for years. Dan uses coconut oil on Maxs' "toes toes toes beak beak beak" lol and the oil works well. I've added a small amount to Amys food on occasion also.
Willow? you are a beautiful girl there :04:

A dose of coconut oil once a month really makes that much difference with feet and beak? How much do you think a conure would require?
 
Parrot spa day indeed, Tom! Willow has her back to that white stuff on the ground outside, and is happy as a clam in her nice warm giant nestbox!

Not much I imagine, it helps to melt in your hands a little bit, it's a lot like Crisco until it melts. It helps and it's good for them, I should do it more often.

Young? My cockatoo is only eight and he's got the dry look going. I will use this trick of yours, and thank you for posting it.

Willow is only (allegedly) 6 or 7. IDK how old she actually is.
 
I tried this on Rocky 'Too and he was NOT HAPPY. Emphatically NOT HAPPY. Gave me the stink eye for an hour NOT HAPPY. I offered to let him taste it first. NO. He did NOT want to cooperate. He did not want a spa day for his beak or his toesies. NOT HAPPY.
 
my congo goes into fight mode when she gets a sniff of the coconut oil. this is the only time she will bite the shit out of me. I live in a very dry part of the country and her beak gets very dry and cracking. I smear her beak with it once a week and her feet every 3 to 4 weeks.
