Make sure the water is slightly warm. I did this with Ladu and now he loves to have mist showers. He didnt let me spray him out of the cage, but when I did it in his cage, he started spreading his wings so I could spray them and he started turning around so I could spray his whole body lol.Hope this helps
Lol, Harlie does that too then gets over excited and nearly falls of her perch because her balance is rubbish. She hated the spray to start off with too but she won't tolerate it unless she is in the mood for a bath. Ollie Hates the mister and he runs and hides as soon as I get the bottle. I've never tried to work on him to accept it because he will come in the shower or have a bath anyway.
Liz have you tried running the hoover directly before offering a bath/shower? It nearly always makes all the birds I've ever had want a bath. I have no idea why though but I've read it a few times elsewhere too.
