This is a summer rerun...so just a couple of shots to get you in the mood. They don't really look wet, so probably not quite eligible but they are bathing....

I adopted four canaries (Domingo, Luciano, Maria & Carmen) from a coworker -- the family got a pair for Grandpa (human, all the other relatives are birds) and the mom died right after the babies hatched. Dad raised his daughter and two sons. Well, Grandpa had a stroke, so she took the birds; long story short -- boyfriend thought they were too noisy, so I got the birds and she married the guy. Dad died after a few years, but the three kids are still happy in the aviary.

This is Cha-Cha, a male Lutino cockatiel, getting a spray bath on the porch. He loves to take showers and can be a real contortionist whenever he sees the opportunity to get wet!

Shrek, my 20 yr old Quaker, who was dropped off at the pound last year when his people decided to retire in Mexico. This is a picture after his first shower in years!

My Maroon Bellied Conure, Fiona, loves to snorkle! She is 20 yrs old and had been dropped off at the pound last year when her people decided to retire to Mexico. This was her first bath in many years other than her waterdish. I keep a small cereal bowl in her cage now so she can bathe whenever she wants!
