Preening post-bath Phoenix

For some reason (possibly the dishwasher running!) Phoenix decided to have an extra bath this week. Regular parrot spotters know that Saturday is usually birdy bathtime, but apparently something caused an additional bath to be scheduled this week. Phoenix did the usual runs through her pie-dish bathtub, then sat and did some preening. I'm gradually training Magic not to eat the camera whenever she sees it, so I even got some half-decent pics today :)
(PS I'm not sure why this pic turned out quite so grainy - 365 does seem to do odd things to my pics when I upload them sometimes!)
