625.0. "Bath Time" by JVAX::SIPILA (Can I go home now?) Thu Nov 14 1991 13:37

    My two Zebra finches (Max and Maggie) love to take their daily bath!
    
    The little tub hooks onto the doorway of the cage and they fight
    each other to be first.  If for some reason I forget to put their
    tub on before I leave for work, they let me know!  They like their 
    bath water warm too! 
    
    When I get home from work they have usually thrown their toys, pieces
    of millet, pieces of lettuce or whatever they can find into the
    bath water!  Yup, sometimes they even poop in it! 
    
    They look so soft and fluffy after their baths.
    
    Hairdryer - haven't tried it because they are so small.  It would
    probably frighten them as they are kinda' wimpy when it comes to some
    thing new and loud.
    
    Spoiled brats?  What are pets for?       
    
    "It ain't easy bein' a mother bird!
