Aw how cute:) Yeah I used to have a couple of averies and my birds would love a light spray from the hose on hot days!

bathing

is it normal for my baby irn to constantly put his head in his water bowl
im not sure if he is actually drinking the water or just dunking his head in the water for fun?
he is still eating baby formula at 6-7 weeks old but he has started eating a bit of seed and nibble at his vegies
