That's cause Senegal Parrots don't seem to like water so much. Kili will tolerate it but she will not make one ounce of effort to enjoy it. And I've tried everything. Giving her a bowl of water, running under the sink, a shallow bath in the tub, shower, etc. Lately I've found the shower the quickest and easiest way to get it over with:

Batman looks like she is having a great time! If that is how she enjoys taking her bath then let her have fun! Just think no water to clean up off of the floor! I've seen a few other birds that like to bath that way as well.

I've never tried Martini in the shower but he loves to take a bath. Mostly in his water dish, but he has taken a few in the big water dish on the playstand. Which of corse is what the big water dish is for. :D It took watching Alex taking his bath's in the big water dish to convince him it was a good idea. :lol:

Alex is scard of the shower. I've been working with him to desenitize him to it. But he does take baths in the big water dish so not really to worried about the shower.

Batman looks like she's having so much fun! What a great video.

Mojo likes to be in the shower with me on his shower perch but I've never tried running a tap for him. I'll have to try it tonight!
