The parrot who sings in the shower

pet-parrot-bird.jpgPet owner, Nick Paton, has helped cure his parrot of a chest infection - by taking him into the shower.

Maroon-bellied conure Tocky had been suffering from a chest infection and his normal squawk had been replaced with a wheeze.

In the rainforest the two-year-old bird would be able to breathe in humidity to clear his chest and so needed some moisture in the air.

A vet suggested engineer Nick and wife Karen, 34, take the bird into the bathroom or shower to help shift the infection.
