Lola needed a bum wash, so my daughter (who came over yesterday) decided to video the whole procedure. Unfortunately she lost the bit where I was using the hairdryer! Never mind though, you will be able to see how calm Lola is in her bubble bath in my kitchen sink.
The biggest part of the job is disinfecting the sink and surrounding area afterwards!

Lola was very good. She's a lovely looking bird. Really big and quite fluffy. She's lucky to have you looking after her so well  |

I thought you were going to have soap suds all over the place to start with. She was quite calm after that. I see some-ones been taking notice of the credit rolls. Just like the BBC. They go so fast you don't have time to read them.  Nice video al the same. |

Once Lola was in the water she just seemed to relax, you could tell she knew she was in safe hands. We got to see the wash, pity about the blow dry |

She certainly is a big thing, but I really do wonder what weight she would be (in chook sizings - "dressed weight, I think they call it)) without all those feathers!!!! How dirty was her bum, really, Shirls? We got to see the wash, and the clean behind after, but not what you started with! I did have to giggle at your "try not to flap". |

I thought that too Hezz, but she was too ashamed to show her dirty bum, I will try and take pictures - some time, when they are out running about, when their butts get dirty!! And they do sometimes!! They still have a bit of residue left over from the mites. Although the egg casings are dead they stick in clusters to the shaft of the feathers like with super glue! Such a shame we couldn't show you the blow dry - she was just as content having warm air blow over her bum!!! |

Well I'll be....she is quite calm, just the odd cluck but doesn't seem to keen on the 'person with the camera'. Give a girl a break, this is a private moment please! Great video Shirl's (daughter!) |
