Thank you all so much for your kind words {{{{blushing}}}}

Well, today we have had HUGE rain. Jo was out in her aviary, and I was quite concerned when the rain started and planned to go and get her and bring her inside.

WELL, imagine my surprise when she moved into the area of the aviary which allowed the rain in and proceeded to wash and preen herself in the small amount of raindrops that came in.

SO, my husband connected the hosepipe (IN THE POURING RAIN!!!), I put the nozzle onto MIST, and stood far away and aimed it at her .................

SHE LOVED IT!!!! She preened, and cleaned and squawked .... such a sight!!! When she had enough, she went to the back of the aviary and proceeded to sleep!

What an adventure having a parrot is!

When I went to get her out of the aviary, she came gladly (perhaps happy because she was CLEAN!!???)

Thanks so much to all of you showing an interest in her (and me!).

DeliDog - perhaps she was washing off the spots?????
