First Bath!

[dawnkyung]

Well, I decided this afternoon when I went home for lunch to try to give Banner his first bath. I picked up a spray bottle on the way home and filled it up with bottled water. I placed him on the tabletop perch that we bought for future training and sprayed the bottle straight up in the air so it would rain down on him. At first I couldn't tell if he liked it or if he was angry, but I think that he did enjoy it.

Here are some photos.





I know he doesn't look that wet, but I only have an hour for lunch and didn't want to completely soak him.











I put him in his travel cage after we were done with the "shower" - he got some sun and was able to dry off a bit before I put him back in his cage and headed back to work.



Thanks for looking!

I agree he is gorgeous.
He certainly appears to be enjoying being misted from those pics:)
