This is week two with Thor, and it's been great. Every night when I clean the cage, I wash the lower tray and grill in the show. I have Thor on my shoulder while I do this, so we could do what we did today.

So I stood in the shower, eye's closed everyone, it's not pretty. My wife Jen handed we Thor, who then jumped in my should. My back was to the shower and i turned a bit. Right under the water.

We changed shoulders and when under a few times. He didn't freak out, it was awesome. Next time we'll go for longer, and I'll look at a shower perch.

Cheers everyone!

Very cool! Congrats! Sometimes it takes a bit to find what will motivate a bird to accept showers. My Ekkie only ever tolerated them until I got a shower head that had a mist feature. With that mist, he now begs for a shower when I’m taking a day time shower (I’m usually a night time showerer...not conducive for bathing our birds).

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
A wonderful accomplishment! Most of my birds dislike faucet showers, so you've given me encouragement to give the full-sized shower a try!

This is what I hope to accomplish with Emoji. I already have a shower perch from MANY years ago. We'll take it slow. The perch is out of the mainstream so should only catch the mist and splash that comes from me.

I'm so inspired by your progress!
