How do you keep your bird warm after a shower/bath?

Just curious.


Towel dry, blow dry, heater.. etc.How do you keep your bird warm after a shower/bath?
Generally speaking, my birds don't usually get very wet when they bathe. Mostly their bellies get wet but the rest stays pretty dry. If, by chance, one is too wet to dry quickly, I towel him or her.How do you keep your bird warm after a shower/bath?
you should keep them in a warm room without anydrafts and make sure windows are closed, its best to towel dry a bird although my parrotlet prefers being blow dried, i use a mini hairdryer and put it on the lowest setting and hold it like 3inches away from my birds body and constantly move it and alternate its position so its never focused on one spot, my bird isnt scared of the blowdryer cause when he was a baby he used to watch me blow dry my hair (i use a high power dryer) on the towel rack so he got used to the object and sound. although i wouldnt reccommend blow drying.
It's okay to towel dry them or just let them air dry. They dry pretty quickly without a lot of fuss. Maybe put the perch or cage in a patch of sunlight indoors.Birds are not as fragile as you would think-just avoid cold drafts. Not a good idea to use blow dryer or heater as they could get overheated or burned.
Don't blow dry your bird! It will probably scare the heck out of them! Just position them near a heater but don't let them be near enough to touch it, and make sure they can move away from it too, if they get uncomfortably hot.
