Do your birds like to bathe or shower (maybe both or not at all)?
Cassius (hawkhead parrot) is a bather. He hears the water start to run and flys over at lightspeed to get wet. Show him a spray bottle though and he is gone in less than a second He loves to get wet in the sink and afterward gives you a shower too. He loves to fly on my head and flap when he is done... it can get messy
Cyan (blue front amazon) likes a good shower. She doesnt much know what to make of a dish or water, and forget the sink. Show her the spray bottle and shegets her feathers all floofed out so she can get a good soaking. She flaps like crazy and it gets all over
Lancelot (Medium Sulfur crested Cockatoo) Wil do both. I think she prefers a misting, but if you run the vacuum, she is guaranteed to try to take a bath in her water dish Start misting her and she flaps and flaps, loving every second of it.
Coke-a-moe (senegal parrot) hates all forms of water. If you try to mist him he will "run for cover" and tell you "no, stop it!" Very very rarely I have seen parts of his body wet (mainly just his forehead ). He would much rather act like a cat and just clean by the preening meathod. No water added
