Many of us have homes, and most of those homes have shower stalls in them. Much fewer of them have aviaries. But even in those homes with both showers and aviaries, how many have a combined shower/aviary?
This is hardly an unwarranted question. After all, birds love to bathe. Go to any public square that has a working fountain; go to any garden with a birdbath that has water in it: you will find birds hopping in and splashing and shuddering as they dip themselves in the water. What is needed is a shower in the aviary, which iteslf is not unlike the one in Busch Gardens in Tampa - open to the sky, filled with trees and rocks and running water.
Stand in your shower, and watch the birds swoop down and fly through the water. by the end of a good long week of long showers, several of your birds will be able to say "Shake yourself off" or whatever you tell them, or maybe you sing in the shower. A while later, exotic birds know that when you arrive, they will get to have a bath.
You enjoy your shower, with its warmth, and trees, and birds. When you step out, Bola Sete is playing some mellow Brasilian guitar.
