I used to to do that, (well not with the hose) with my canary when he had his stroke. He was still perky and eating and singing, so was still obviously enjoying life. Eventually after another stroke I did have to take him to be put to sleep. He was 12, a good age. He had a long and happy life.

He loved his baths every day but couldn't when he had his stroke. His wing was out of kilter So if the weather was warm and sunny I used to take him outside and put him on the grass, position an old cage over him for safety, and gently spray him with a little spray bottle. He loved it!

In the winter, I used to put him in the shower cubicle and spray him, not with the shower head, still the same spray bottle ... he still enjoyed it, but preferred the grass under his feet.

He was such a character. I miss him

Aww,

That's nice, but sad at the same time.

Re: Bird Bath

They will eventually go in it, they just have to get used to it being there.

We have a concrete one and our birds love it, especially the Sparrows in the summer they all get in the bath together and have a good wash.

That's what I thought Mups. I wonder if they do matching cushions for them?
