Showering Gideon

'

This morning Gideon decided to come out of his cage for a shower (as opposed to remaining inside). When we got him Linda told us he really hated showers, but I right from the start I found that was not the case. Most times he likes it, other times he loves it! There have been times I’ve used the entire spray bottle on just him. He lifts his wings and really gets into it.

``
After spraying so much water all over I have to wipe it up, of course. For some unknown reason today Gid decided that the hand towel I used to do it was really scary, but instead of keeping his distance or flying off the cage he raised his wings straight up and let out a scream that sounded like that eagle cry you can hear in one of the old John Denver songs. He even kind of weaved from side to side, like he was showing that towel he would be taking no BS today!

Mark tried several times to get a picture of that, but (as usual) by the time he got the camera it was over. We had to be satisfied with these.
