Arcus Loves Showers

Our pet sun conure, Arcus, loves to take showers in the kitchen sink. 

He sits on his perch on the counter while I wash dishes. The sound of the falling water is usually irresistible to him. Once the sink is empty, he knows it's his turn to use the sink and he often can't resist walking over and hopping down into the sink and under the running water. At that point, I usually turn down the water and transfer his perch to the sink, so he has a firmer place to sit. 

When he's all done, he flies up to my shoulder- a very messy affair, since he gets me all wet. 

After that, he is content to sit on his perch again on the counter, shaking himself out, fluffing out his feathers and drying as I continue my work in the kitchen.
