dying my Cockatiels

Why dye them if you can just put a black light on them for pictures?

I'd also pass on dying the birds.
Normal colors...after getting into his colored toys not yet dry.

My little guy spent a good amount of time chewing on the feathers and the foot with dye on them... so I would never purposely dye his whole body. I'd also not put kool-aid in bath water, because that stuff stings when you get it into a cut, so I'd imagine it would burn if you got it in your eyes.

ta-da- I wondered if those guys were black light reactive-

I think there's plenty of opinions and links now, and the OP never said boo here again.

Beautiful bird SilkieChicken.

Wow, never knew they did that under the black light. Pretty cool looking!

Thanks. Birds can see into the UV spectrum, so I'd think most parakeets/tiels/coloful birds otherwise can see and identify each other based on a wider spectrum of colors we can discern from regular light.
