652.0. "Stinky Feet? No - it is our Bird!" by CSOA1::DIRRMAN () Fri Jan 17 1992 10:36

    This may sound strange - but I have a question about our Blue Crowned
    Conure. He smells like old socks! He bathes fairly regular and this
    smell comes and goes within a matter of minutes. We think he is around
    4 years old and we haven't changed his food (although we are not
    ruling out anything.) I would appreciate ANY instite - or anything we
    can do. 'Cause when he smells - WHEW - He really smells!

652.1old socks smell better!AIRG::TINAMon Feb 10 1992 12:1710
    
    Chewy too (red lored amazon). my opinion is that big birds smell 
    like sneakers or dirty socks.
    now that it is winter, i try to bathe chewy once a week to keep the
    smell down.  i spritz him once or twice (not too much cause i don't 
    want him to catch a cold) just about every day in the winter because
    it's so dry as well -- it seems to help both with that distinct smell
    and with his dandruff.
