Water Play .. when, where & how

[kyria]

I have been reading and reading and I think my eyes might be bleeding. Hey I'm a poet and I ..... naaahhh that ones too old and corny .. lol. But I have been reading to find out about bathing and showering for my darlin.
So far can't really find anything on these boards and I can't read anymore so, here goes.

I am in Australia (Southern/Victoria) and its still rather cold weather. I want to know when and how often the little darlings like to bath or shower. Do I use a big ceramic bowl, or what is best and how do I start to familiarise him with say with the shower. Should I use a spray water bottle first ? I would love for him to take showers.

I have seen pictures of IRN's spread out totally enjoying their water time. Looking for all the advice I can get. I don't want to scare him off.

Thanks in Advance All

Mist them with warm water once a week. If they want to bathe more they will let you know by doing it in their water dish.

My girls LOVE to be sprayed or showered. They dont really play in bowls though. Too lazy. They like to stand their wing stretched letting me do all the spraying. I never have to quess where they need it, they turn to make sure they get a good job... very cute.

So ugly when they are wet!

My older girl likes water going up her noise? She likes to sneeze it out.
