plenty baths,

now these are all sitting eggs for a few days they get a bath every other day and dive straight in. I'm sure if I put one in each day they'd be in it. Always take the chill off with a kettle boiling water to top up and always on before 9:00am this time of year, gives all day for birds to dry out. Teaspoon moxidectin in bath now and again , lice free birds

Yes think they do like a bath, most days in the summer the pond was full of bloom they bathed in the waterfall.

Funny thing is they never seemed to drink from the pond as I had to fill the garlic water up every day, think what happed when feeding the young they went straight to the nearest water and got used to doing so, and the young also got used to it.

Regards.

Your to kind etc Barnie maybe. Hot water      One of my pet little hates, actually baths my view, most of them are actually to small & shallow for the birds to actually enjoy themselves there Hence mine here have a full size bath of a human kind, which always has Salt & Eucalyptus oil added for a bit of fun while they swim there for the enjoyment factor .
