It was pouring with rain all day yesterday but a Magpie still decided it needed a bath in the bird bath.

Some creatures prefer a bath to a shower!

Haha, that is really funny. I would think it'd hunker down in the rain.

This may be the same reasoning why Ruby, who generally doesn't like water, will go on a massive dunking display in her water dish only AFTER we give her a shower. It's like the shower just greased the skids. And what a show she puts on in her water dish not to mention a tremendous mess.

Yes it is amazing how much mess they can make with a small bowl of water and a pair of flapping wings. Mine always start by trying to have a bath in the drinking water bowl. Then I spray them but they always go back to the bowl. The funny thing is that when I have tried giving them a bigger bowl of water to bathe in they are not interested. Monty just uses it to splosh his rubber ducks around.

Chy always starts throwing water out of her bowl when I bring groceries home. She throws out so much and I don't know why. She never throws out water when we are not home.

We tried the same thing Jane. She wouldn't go in the big water bowl at all so we finally got rid of it. Her current water bowl is maybe 6" diameter and Ruby is a smallish TAG but when she fully extends her wings it's rather ridiculous.
That's funny Haz about Chy only throwing water when you bring home the groceries. Normally I'm inclined to think when they throw their water or food it's a bit of a protest but not sure what she has against the groceries haha!

Jane, I'd love to see a video of Monty sploshing his toys around in the big water dish!
Manzi's not a fan of water dishes for playing, but Maui makes a huge mess with them when she decides to take a bath in them.

Today when I brought home groceries, Chy did her usual water throwing thing. I took the water dish out and put it on the kitchen counter thinking I would change the water before putting it back. While I was putting the groceries away, I heard a big bang behind me. Chy had launched herself onto the counter and pushed the whole water bowl onto the floor making an even bigger mess than usual.
