A-Z: Wet and wonderful

Another Saturday, another shower for Magic :) She was definitely keen to get soggy this morning, flapping back and forth into the shower for about 10 minutes! Phoenix did lots of squeaking, flapping and squawking, but when I refilled her bathtub/pie dish, she ignored it...

[petra]

lovely capture, like the crop!

[Dave Anajao]

Ü she is loving it!

[naladka]

Looks like a fun shower! Is that blue bar for birds especially? :)

[alia_801]

@naladka Yep, that's a shower perch, which has suction cups at the end to hold it to the wall of the shower. It folds out when birdies want to play, or folds against the wall the rest of the time.

[Tricia Hunt]

Is she giving him love bites?

[alia_801]

@triciaanddazzle Just holding on I think :) (She doesn't do love bites - just bite bites...)

[Richard Ogley]

@triciaanddazzle She is tucking her head down to get more water on the back of her head. It's so sweet!

[Allison Williams]

You certainly make parrot ownership look like fun!

@luvdoxie77 Check out Barbara Heidenreich's website for tips in how to help your birds interact with you. Also Susan Friedman. Both are behaviour experts with lots of tips about training parrots in a way which is fun for you both. http://goodbirdinc.blogspot.com/ and http://www.behaviorworks.org/
