I use newspaper to line my cage trays too. I put 6 or 8 sheets down and each day all I have to do is roll up the top one and toss it.

My Pionus has a shower perch but the Quakers love getting in the bathtub. They run from one end to the other, flapping their wings and making happy sounds. I love it too because the mess is confined.

I used to have an African Grey Timney and its cousin an African
Grey Congo.. and an Unbrella Cocatoo. As I grew older it became
difficult to care for them so I gave them to somone who I trusted to
care for them. I used to put their cage one at a time in the shower..
I would open the cage door and they would stand on top and flap their wings as to clean each feather.. it was so fun to watch. They spoke well and understood what I said. It was so fun training them.
When the shower was done and they finished the *wing flapping process* (what a wet mess I was cause I just had to peek in to watch and laugh and as I laughed they would laugh,so much fun)
I would say "go in your house" or "go home" and they would go inside. Then I just removed the cage dried it off and did the next one.. they would always sing laugh and talk in the shower. I will always miss them. At least I have them on tape.. talking singing laughing. I loved to hear them talk to each other. They also barked like dogs.. so funny. My neighbor would bring over her Double yellow head Amazon, the Congo (Sambo) didnt like it,... he would get down in the corner of his house and growl and scream GO HOME!!!!!!!! lol They had a huge vocabulary... Sorry to ramble... I just miss them.

I am happy to see something about parrots. I have an african grey. All you say is true. I'm an avian specialest and do bird grooming. The spraying of the paper also saves your lungs from air borne droppings being inhaled. And good for you with the self cleaning ovens and teflon. Teflon is also on some light bulbs and irons, or ironing board pads. I don't use any of those things. Valery
