If you really want him to look sharp, bathe him in a pan of water with a table spoon of bleach or even better bluing if you can find it. Blowdry being careful not to blow the feathers the wrong way. Put Vet-r-X on the feet, legs and beak just before placing in the show pen. The rest is up to the bird.

Sippi you are right on the money with the "Blueing"! Thats an old secret. I use it and it works great. Especially with a lil bleach, epsom salt, and bluieng makes the birds look fabulous. But for best results I find that bathing at least 4 days prior to a show will give the birds plummage time to get its shine back.
