Poor Chester..  Glad all worked out well.  You probably . should be careful 
not to swing on that yourself.  Ha.

> As some of you know, we have a perch for Chester, our African Gray parrot,
> which has two suction cups at one end of about a foot long perch.  This 
> way,
> he can take showers with us occasionally without having to be hand 
> sprayed,
> he hates that, and the steam from the shower is good for his feathers. 
> So,
> I took him into the shower yesterday evening and put him on the perch.
> Normally, he likes all this very much and does a lot of noise making while
> the shower is running.  Yesterday, however, it didn't work out so well.
> Chester picked at the suction cups on our old perch so we got one with
> covers that is supposed to make it impossible for him to pick the cups off
> and thereby not falling.  I just got the shower running, when I heard
> something, and Chester's wings flutter.  I was about two feet away from 
> his
> perch but he made a perfect landing on my head, which was wet, and he 
> stayed
> on my head until I walked over and discovered the top suction cup had
> slipped off.  I realized then, he could probably pull the top cup off the
> wall by pulling on the square piece of plastic mounted in front of the cup
> to supposedly keep parrots from picking them off the shower walls.  So, we
> are going to have to screw something in next time so he can't pull that 
> top
> suction cup off.  When I got it pressed back against the shower wall, I
> leaned my head up to the perch and Chester climbed back on.  He didn't
> whistle or talk or make hardly any sounds the whole time he was in there 
> so
> he wasn't happy.  So, this time his wings came in handy.  How about your
> wings today?  Have you tried using them?  I think I'll post one of my
