We bought Ruby a plastic bath tub and attached it to the side of her cage. We removed a door so she can go in when she wants and put maybe a half inch of water in. Our rationale for this was that, often after she takes a regular shower with me, she will then inexplicably want to take a second "shower" in her water bowl when she goes back in her cage. It's almost like the first shower is a warm-up act and now she's ready to take the bull by the horns. Why she couldn't just do this from the beginning is one of those unknown AG mysteries. Anyway this makes a tremendous mess and she starts flapping around like crazy so we thought this would give her more room, be safer, cleaner water, etc. and maybe encourage her to take showers by herself.
Well the end result (so far) is that she does like to go into the tub. At least she likes to stick her head in. But she doesn't go in the water - she just starts talking and whistling like crazy. Because the tub is enclosed it creates an echo chamber and she seems to really like the acoustics.
Oh well! Maybe eventually she'll like the water too but I have my doubts.
Crazy but always entertaining!
