Becky I must say Sweden is gorgeous! How did you get her used to bathing in a pie dish?
Edit: Sweden didn't look dirty or scruffy in the first picture, it is so hard to tell from a picture.

Awe, she's so pretty. The parakeet I had in high school would hop into a pie pan and take a bath, he loved it.

Sweden (like many parrots) loves to get her crop area good and drenched. I get cramped hands from holding the spray bottle, she'll bath so long. One day, I was doing dishes and had just washed the pie pan, I decided to see what she'd do if I filled it for her. I used the spray bottle so that the spray was falling into the pie pan, she followed the spray.......the rest is history.

Thanks for sharing that Becky, I will try the same with Angel and let you know how it goes.
Do you guys ever try taking your birds into the shower? Let them hang out on the edge of the tub & see if they will join you? I have a friend with an African Grey that loves to take showers with his people.
