Birds are funny.
I bought a new bath for them since I dropped the old one and cracked it. It’s the rainy season here and everyone in my flock takes bathing very seriously during the rainy season (metal roof + heavy rain = bathing conures). Normally they will literally jump into anything that looks wet
Everyone took turns staring skeptically at the new equipment (I might have brought home a “bird-eating” machine after all :09
. Stanley & Bindi tasted the water from the safety of my arm but no one even dipped a toe in. I’m not one to push things on them, so we just played with stuff nearby and ignored it.
I’ll leave it running for a few days near them, maybe they’ll try it out eventually.
I guess if they don’t use it, the cat will get a new water bowl

) He did once or twice roll around under the kitchen faucet though. It might make him think that bathing is a good thing to do and daddy wouldn't need to hold him and bird handle him. Amy enjoys the misting bottle or hanging upside down from his perch stick while showering with me too.
