Is she playing in the shower or just standing there chirping?
So many birds enjoy playing in the water, some really like falling water. Be careful with the temperature of the water.

Bird usually LOVE the sound of running water!!!!! I don't know what it is but it's like heavan - maybe it stirs up some instinctual behavior but it makes thme happy - do you have a bird bath for the cage door? I wonderhow she would act if you put he rin the bathroom with access to the bath :p

Definately put a dish of water out for her to get in. I think she wants to take a bath. When I had my parakeets I put a shallow bowl in the bottom of their cage everyday and they were in there like clockwork. When I take a shower Pepe comes in and hangs out on the curtain with me. The humidity is good for their skin and feathers. They do sell shower perches at some pet stores. Usually have suction cups to attach. Pretty neat.

I have a couple of those ... I use them in my windows too. Ruby really enjoys sitting in the window and watching the goings on outside.

I too think that he just wants to take a bath. My IRN loves to take showers with me. She hardly lets me take my turn in the shower before she is telling me to get out of the way, because it's her turn :)

Uh huh, my parakeets just LOVE when I run water! Every time I have water on they chirp like there's no tomorrow. They just like it, it doesn't mean anything really.

as to the runnning water, he just looks at it and stretches his wings out.

they usually don't have a problem with cool water but to be safe shoot for room temp
