Although my new found friend has no feathers at the rear, he/she seemed to like it. We are both learning about one another and I hope that with time this little beauty will trust me in the same way as my other birds, who might I add, love bath-time!

If we don't react, he starts to sort of scream, so we know he wants his showertime. It's not up to us to make the misting-decision.

As soon as they see the spray bottle, they rush over and start flapping like crazy!! No matter how soaked they get, whenever I stop they scream at me and flap around, mad that they're not getting sprayed more! I can empty the whole bottle and get hand cramps misting them and they're still not done! My kids LOVE their bath!!

I use a handheld sprayer that gives a fine mist. They get so silly, hang upside down, and open their wings. Both of them like to get sopping wet. If you have a reluctant bather, just get out the vacuum cleaner! The noise gets most birds in the mood for a bath. That is how I started both of my linnies bathing. Everyone should train their linnie for baths because it is SOOOOO important for their overall health.Happy Misting! My 2 linnies absolutely LOVE their showers.
