- let me tell you folks, i'm green with envy at how all your birdies love
- water!! my yellow collared destructo macaw, angus, figured that water is
- some strange alien bent on attacking him whenever possible (throwing him
- into the shower might have had something to do with this. :-) ).
- put angus in the sink, run a gentle tropical waterfall, and see the birdie
- attempt to glare you into roasted cinders and jump out. never saw the
- like before.

- my mom's african grey bartina will bathe in her water tubberware (get
- it? tub? tupperware? tubberware?? hee hee hee!!!! hello? hello?)
- in the kitchen. when this natural disaster occurs, my mom or i will
- move the kitchen table and chairs away so they don't get soaked, and will
- mop up the floor afterwards. i mean, it is *bartina's* kitchen; she just
- lets us eat there every week or so.
-
- angus *hates* bathing in the sink, or the shower, or my coffee cup (he
- does enjoy, however, sticking his beak/head/neck/upper body into my
- water glass (love that time when there was ice in it) and flinging the
- water towards my computer. so i'd just like all of you to know that
- i am extremely jealous of your bathing birdies (get it? beauties?
- birdies? oh i slay me!!!) and it will take years of intensive
- therapy to overcome this. so there. :-)
