Dyeing the hair of an Ibis can be done in several ways. You can choose to use a commercial dye that is specifically designed for feathery animals, such as bird dyes and Ibis dyes. Alternatively you can use natural hair dye which is less harsh on feathers, but also takes longer to take effect. Before using any type of dye make sure your Ibis's skin and feathers are clean and dry. Start by applying some petroleum jelly or wax around the eyes, beak, nape of neck and anywhere else that could come into contact with the dye; this will stop it from getting stained. Next mix up a small amount of your chosen dye according to package instructions – if using natural products like henna then make sure they are completely dissolved before proceeding further – then apply gently with a brush taking care not to pull at any of its feathers while doing so. Leave the applied area until it has dried before rinsing off thoroughly with warm water; this should help set the colour in place better than cold water would do. Lastly comb through its newly coloured plumage ensuring all excess product has been removed from each individual feather for a professional looking finish!
