No he won't. He hates his tub and other type dishes I have offered as a tub.

Have you let him out of his cage in the bathroom when you're showering? My guys LOVE the big shower. Even Winston, who had no clue what to do, would fly to the shower curtain rod and watch with such interest. Now he lands on top of the shower head, which is 7 or 8 inches across, and there's some water that trickles there, and he gets such a kick out of it. Jerry showers in my hand in the big shower, but even Winston, who's still nervous to come down to the water stream, loves the big shower.

My guys are the same - i did have Laker in the shower one day. He also tried the bathroom sink but since i got Rio everything has been on hold. They just fly in & out of the bathroom.

I have put out a medium sized flower pot saucer of water almost every day - they drink from it - its their wild water. Its on top of their cage - in the sun, when we have some.

Spice is lovely even wet.

I haven't tried spraying Pogo yet. He rarely takes a bath, but I captured this one. Love the wet Budgie pixs.

YouTube - Pogo - "I Feel Good"

That is great - must be the running water - hmmmmmmmmm maybe ill try again - but the bathroom is not the best space & the kitchen is not where I want them ..... there has to be a solution somewhere.

Excellent video.

Yes, I think the sound of running water gets them in the mood for sure. It seems it has to be just the right volume of water and sound to get them all excited about a bath.

Jerry likes the kitchen sink every so often for a quick dip - the water has to be a steady trickle and I'll splash a little and he'll run down my arm and wade into my hand. He loves it.

I put their cage in the bathroom with me every time I take a shower. I do it for Spice's sinuses. All doors are open. They sing up a storm but will NOT come out.
