Dori's first bath. Gigi was on my shoulder and I carried Dori in on the play gym. Gigi flew to her bath perch and I sprayed her a while with Dori watching. Then I gave Dori a few mists and she flew around the bathroom a bit. I was able to get her pretty wet eventually. It will just be a matter of time before she is hanging upside down like a bat, begging for more. I like this picture as it differentiates the 2 greens so well. Gigi, top, is normal green. Dori is dark green even when dry. :)

Aww thanks!
I'm not sure she enjoyed it, but she didn't hate it, lol. I offered a little water in the sink too, but that was a solid no. I will just keep at it. Slowly. She's back on my shoulder so apparently not holding a grudge.

This pic is so cute with both my girls that I just changed my avatar. I felt guilty with just Dori. :)

The "monkey see, monkey do" will get to her eventually. Even though Sherbie doesn't like Rupert, if he's taking a bath, she is much, much more likely to want one if she sees him splashing. Same goes for snacks. The other day, I was using the sunflower seed container for a drum (Rupert likes it), and Sherbie saw and yelled at me until I gave her millet.

Aww cute lovebirds. Love the competition.
Oh yes! Dori was very interested in Gigi's experience. And loving baths is in the Linnie play book, so I bet she will love it in time.

I gave the babies 1 mist shower when they were fledged and nearly weaned, they all seemed to really enjoy it.

Closer and closer. Why am I wearing so much protection in order to be a napping perch for my girls? Ask any Linnie parent.

Nonsense. We all know you wear those miniature quilts so that the Royal Linnie Ladies can rest comfortably. :queen:
