I'm glad you gave us some new pictures of Dawn!!!

Yes, I just take her cage and cage stand out. Before I take it outside, I take out the lining on her floor and her seed dish etc. I like to make sure it's at least around 80 out before I do it, just to be on the safe side. I have one of those hose nozzles that have different settings like jet, flat, shower, etc. Then I put it on the Mist setting and start spraying it in bursts. If it looks like she really wants it (sometimes she seems to want it more than others) then I will just hold it on her until she starts moving away from the water.

Afterwards I take the floor out and wash it up and reline it and wipe everything down with a towel and let her sit outside. I try to always have the cage in part sun/part shade, but she usually will always sit in the sunny part. I don't leave her out if it's truly hot like 95 or more, even in the shade.

She seems to really enjoy it though and I swear her colors look richer after she has had a bath and then sunbathed dry

Thanks again for the compliments!
