It's fine as long as you use it moderately. Birds are better off drying out in the sun, or just drip drying naturally. However, you can help them out a bit. The reason that hair dryers can be dangerous is that most are coated in teflon, and when overheated, teflon is fatal to birds, all birds. If you keep it about 1 foot away, move it around on a low heat and don't dry your bird completely it will be fine. On a low heat the dryer will not overheat the teflon and therefor is safe, but you should follow these guidelines.Is it ok to dry my amozon parrot with a hair dryer
Yes you can use a hair dryer with care...... I know a number of people that do this, without any problems.





The down side of doing this though... A bath/shower serves a number of purposes.





1. Cleaning feathers


2. Simulates preaning


3. Provides excerise





These are only the fist things I can think of. So with all that in mind I would not recommand a hair dryer. Let them drip dry, they will spend all the time preaning and cleaning their feathers, which is never a bad thing for them to do.
Yeah I have used a blow drier on my eclectus and he loves it. Im assuming you use it on the parrot after a shower? Just be sensible with the heat settings and dont overdry them. If the setting is too hot for your hand it is too hot for the bird.





Of course, if the blow dryer has any kind of teflon product on it...it is definitetly sending off toxins.
No, don't use a hair dryer on your bird anymore. That is definitely dangerous; I know at least some of my old bird care guides stated not to use a hairdryer on a bird, and at least a couple of the bird magazines I've collected have addressed the issue too; as far as my research shows, the answer is a unanimous ';no';. I'm sure she enjoys the heat, but birds often can't tell when something is bad for them, especially if it's artificial in nature, so her behavior isn't an accurate way to judge if something is good for her or not.
No dont use a blow dryer its very bad...can kill them! (a toxin) comes off that very harmful to them they can die very easily once they inhale it theres nothing you can do...if you love this bird you wont blow dry him.





PLEASE DONT USE A HAIR DRYER!!!
No it wouldn't be advisable to use a hair dryer on a parrot, even if she does seem to like it. If you need to dry her off, you're better off taking some of the damp off her gently by hand and keeping her in a warm room.
Don't cook your parrot with it lols. If your bird isn't frightend, scared or screeching then it should be fine as long as you don't over heat your parrot. And only use it when your bird is wet.
its ok just make sure you use the low to med setting and try not to point it in her face and eyes could dry her eyes and cause problems
Yes I do this in the winter.
