The dryer: drying
After the birds have been washed, it is important to let them dry quickly. You do this in the dryer, at a temperature of approximately 38°C. First dry the birds thoroughly with white kitchen paper and then place them in the dryer, on white kitchen paper on the bottom. Some breeders wrap the bird in paper towels before putting it in the dryer; I have had less good experiences with that myself, but I certainly don't want to withhold that method.
