Cute pics! Just remember that you should try to bathe him at least once a week.

I thought I'd give it a go this month (as I've never entered before), but Bella isn't making it easy for me at all! She's not even trying to look cute! She just keeps being a scary rainbow swamp monster!

So this will be a a series of 'just for fun' images...







*Sigh*

Maybe Dexter will sit better for a photo shoot...

I thought you had fostered them out?



I did, this is a photo from last month. When I bathed all of the birds.

This is not the time to argue about it.

Gus must be tricked into bathing. It can take ages. Today I started in the bathtub with a new set up ... he was interested but too frightened. So I moved back to the kitchen sink, with a trickle of faucet water. He starts out terrified, then looks at the water and takes one step, then runs away. Cashew bits on the yellow tray got him to walk over and step in the water. Finally he starts drinking the water and shaking his head. Then he starts holding up his wings. Then I sneak out the spray bottle. Then husband comes in and everything goes back to square one. Then another cashew, some splashing by his human, then I hide behind and mist water over the shoulder. Finally! Gus is wet, splashing, flapping his wings, ducking his head, wet enough to count as a bath. I run to get camera for proof. The whole process takes over an hour. But isn't he cute when he's wet?

I agree with Al! The first one. Definitely. All incredible shots, though.
