fortunately, ivy thinks a towel or blanket means PLAYTIME lol! and artemis is pretty easy to "catch" usually. i know some birds are horribly scared of towels though, it's very important for sure in case of emergencies.

Yes, when I am with my birds, it oftentimes is with a towel or washcloth playing Peek-a-boo or the towel in my lap so if they poop it is sometimes not on me.

LOL They get used to seeing the towel and it doesn't frighten them when you have a reason to towel them.
