April 2022 POTM Contest!

So funny that this is the topic; Bath Time. I’m completely obsessed with bath time pictures! What a beautiful bunch of birdies our community has! Just love it!
and of course, no bath. Would be finished without attention to the toes! Just fun photo;

Proper toe care is so important, and Sunny is really making sure they are perfectly clean

 

[Terry57]

Nothing is simultaneously more funny AND beautiful than a bathing bird! Right?? Stunning and hysterical. Great, great photos!

Okay, this is just for fun since he's not technically WET, YET! The photo is so old that I can't even remember it, but I do THINK I recognize the tile from our first house in New Mexico, @ 1988...

"Mmmmmmm, yehhh, jest right!"​

LOL, that was exactly my first thought, that Rb was testing the water temp. This made me laugh so hard.

This looks like Sunny is getting ready to blow bubbles and make motorboat sounds

I am just loving this topic!!!

Is it possible to take a bad pic of Sunny? Because every one of these are amazing, and we even were treated to an action shot!

Awww thanks Terry! Very sweet of you. Like I said, I’m totally obsessed with this topic. Sunny gets very frequent baths every, to every other day and I take tons of pictures each time. I end up having to delete a huge portion of them for blurring, etc but do manage to get a few great ones. Between Sunny and the dog I’m filling up the cloud!!

Official entry: Sammy’s first bath at our house! His feathers were kind of greasy and funky; in line with what I would expect to see in nicotine stained feathering. But he looooooved the bath. I was spraying him while also leaving the shower running and let him decide which he wanted. I don’t know if you can hear him over the shower but the noises he makes are so cute!

And a photo in case videos aren’t allowed:

Oh my gosh, Sammy is enjoying that bath with pure abandon! Yep, Videos are allowed, but I also appreciate the precious picture to go along with it. To see him enjoying that so much makes my heart hurt a little at wondering how long it had been since he had last had a bath. Thank goodness those days are over now

LOL, Tucker is like, what are you lookin at, Dad? That little bunch of feathers stuck up on his head is hysterical.

Just for fun: his face when I stopped spraying him with the mister… “excuse me, I wasn’t DONE yet!”

Well, What are you waiting for?

Yup! They definitely let you know if they're not done yet. My Baxter hangs upside down off of the shower perch to get maximum spritzing, and if I turn the water off before she's ready, boy does she tell me a thing or two!

Yep, with a look on his face I hope you started again immediately!

BTW, I love his perch in there! Did you make that?

No! The local parrot shop has an employee who was making them. I don’t remember how much he charged but it was really cheap, and he included a smaller pipe to take apart and clean it. It has pins so it can be raised or lowered but I lost one and keep forgetting to ask him for another! It’s great, we love it.

That's awesome, I like it better than any other one I've seen. That guy should start an online store, I bet he would make a killing.

Coco is precious, I love the feathers around her neck! That is a great idea for a bathtub, too.
I enlarged your picture so we can all see her better
