- No *kidding* they like the kitchen sink! This is a decidedly mixed
- blessing when you're trying to wash dishes and a determined conure is
- hell-bent on sliding down your arm and jumping in with the dishes! Most
- of mine also love to hold their heads underneath the stream of water,
- totally soaking themselves. The Sink Scenario wouldn't be complete
- without then, once they're totally soaked and sodden, getting back up on
- ME and shaking vigorously, soaking me in the process. This isn't fair;
- I still have four more months to go till my Annual Bath!
