I know this sounds airheaded, but I kissed my U2 on the head, several times without realizing I had lip stick on. I inappreciably e'er wear lipstick, just I was dressed up as Marilyn Monroe for a work thing and lipstick went with the wait. Lipstick may have went with the Marilyn look, but it does non quite get with Moakie's look (my U2).

I just took her out of the cage and she was doing her garbily talk and I hugged on her and started kissing her. I had my eyes closed and now she has red kisses all over her head.

We took a shower and water does not take it off. Do I simply wait for the feathers to autumn out or is there something I can exercise to get this off? I won't put annihilation on her until I know for sure that it is safe. I wish the lipstick stayed on my lips as well as information technology does her head

Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Non kissing her is not an option )

She had a shower that afternoon, and when the lipstick wouldn't come up off, I used some kitten shampoo that I had and information technology came right off. I asked a bird-only shop later on most using shampoo and the owner suggested in the future to utilise Woolite. Well, I haven't used Woolite, only water, just my friend doesn't wear her lipstick or jewelry around her anymore --Shelby got "even" by taking her necklace off! The perfume comes off with patently h2o... And I doubtfulness I'll ever utilise Woolite. fwiw, Shirley

We checked the place out one weekend. What they employ on ALL their animals that take been oiled is Dawn dishwashing liquid. They don't put undiluted Dawn on the birds/animals, just if you worked up a little lather and put the lather on the spot information technology might work simply fine. If Zeus is in the shower with me, he occasionally gets some lather from my very balmy shampoo applied the ends of his oft grubby tailfeathers.

I utilize 1 to 2 squirts diluted in a spray pump bottle for near jobs. My U2 does become colored dyes from her toys on her from time to time and I will use it full force on her and I've never had a problem. It gives her a wonderful aroma I just want to eat her up. I learned this trick from a lady that has had parrots for over 35 years and she'due south the i that grooms and boards my birds and I trust her judgement There is a company and I'll take to look around where I wrote it downwardly at ...that makes a shampoo specifically for cockatoos. Hope this helps Tammy Shasta and the remainder of the flock

I seem to recall that the But method advocted by most moderators and many people on the board at the time was to use water only. We have a product called African Grey Shampoo, by Neon products, made and distributed past Omar's Exotic pets in California. It apparently is all natural and appears to be safe. It was sent to the states past our breeder friends in Fallbrook and Anaheim California, and information technology seems to really work well. We take only used it on the rare fourth dimension that they actually needed some actress help to become clean. It does remove lipstick from Umbrella cockatoos, I practise know that for certain. Information technology seems to piece of work on all pulverization birds. Simply think, it is best to but use water. H2o will never injure a birds eyes or ears or cause whatsoever allergic reactions. Peter Some days it's chaos around hither! and I would not take it whatsoever other mode.

Removal of such things as bright red lipstick (Brilliant vivid ruddy lipstick has staying power different Any other colour of lipstick. It's hard to get off surrounding face up skin, nevermind bird feathers)and rough oil, barbecue sauce, etc etc could phone call for a little help. Information technology'due south not a regular bath thing imo.
