I take my monsters into the shower with me about once a week. Conures are often bathed twice a week, as they really like it.
Once in a while I'm able to wrangle all three together. They behave so nicely together and really love spending the time with me in the warm bathroom.

(Lucy, Phaedrus, Genevieve)

This is directly after a shower a few days ago.

I use a dowel perch to keep them all together, otherwise I end up with someone on my head, someone dangling upside down on my left hand, and another atop my foot because they're scared that the tub is going to eat them.
When I just have one or two, they just sit on my hand and get misted by the warm water.

Genevieve understands the word "shower" and gets pretty excited when I ask if she wants to go now. I love these monsters so much.

Just out of curiosity, is there like incentive to win this or for fun? 0.o

Why sure!!! Your bird gets an all expense paid trip to Rio, where it will stay in a 5 star hotel and be wined and dined with room service, meet lovely sexy birds, and dance to the wee hours of the nite....all the while you get to stay home.....your bird will write home stating it's having too much fun and doesn't want to come home.

Ahhh ha ha ha......just kidding......heck, my birds get all that here!!!! Room service every day.

Not one of Maya's best pics, but that half-lidded look of contentment just cracks me up!

Michael, that is a fantastic photo of Poppie in a crabapple tree!

Stephen and Karen, I love, love, love your, 'for fun photos' of Maya and Zoe! Maya seems to have found bath-time bliss and Zoe's spiked do is too cute.
