My cockatiel took a bath voluntarily for the first time

[BlinkingLizard]

Quinn is ten years old, and although I've offered a variety of bathing options, he has never gone for any of them. For some reason today he seemed interested in the water in the sink while I was doing dishes, so I turned it down to a trickle and put him nearby and he took a shower! I though folks here might enjoy the video.
Ignore my conversation with the kids!

Hmmmm....says SORRY VIDIO DOSEN'T EXIST!

But interestingly enough...BB is fascinated with the kitchen sink...when I'm doing dishes!
He has jumped in off the counter on more than one occasion..luckily I was done with the dishes. I put the water on low and run my hand under,then sprinkle the droplets on him. He trys to escape,but on a few occasions has finally said "oh? maybe a bath would work" and has flapped about,only for a minute or two..he ignores any other attempt to bathe!

Oh, darn. I'll fiddle with it and see if I can get it to work, but it shows up for me.

Video worked for me... cute how he was also "drinking" the water as it came out of the tap What does he do when you spray him with water? My tiel loves that.

... but sometimes they just aren't into it... I then wait a few days and then they suddenly WANT a bath haha

If I try to spray him with a mister he either runs away or tries to bite me.
