Wooohoooo.. I managed to outsmart Nemo. I have been trying to show him for weeks that showers aren't that poisonous as they look. Keeping his stand next to the shower whilst letting him step on my hand (while being in the shower) and moving further under the to the shower every time he seems to relax a bit, worked. Granted, there is still a long way to go until he will fully immerse himself in the shower, but I am hopeful I will get there. So there is hope after all :D! He is now looking at me sulking and slightly damp.. Lord Nemo has been defeated.. MWAHAHAHAHA.

I wouldn't keep score of your wins and losses, b/c you'll lose more often than you win. But all jokes aside, it really is about the journey with these incredible creatures.

I can just picture Nemo, giving that shower the classic African Grey tilted head stink eye, trying to figure out why it keeps getting closer every time.
