I have offered a bath to Buddy and Tweetie Pie when each was in their cage but no takers. In the past couple of days, Buddy has been taking a dip in his water cup so I decided to offer them a bath today. I put a couple of basil leaves in the water but my plant is stll very small. At first they just looked at it and then Buddy decided to go for it.

And who doesn't like a wet budgie? He's saying "What are you looking at?"

Tweetie Pie wasn't paying much attention to the water but he did watch Buddy take his bath. I was just about ready to remove the water when Tweetie Pie jumped down and stuck his beak in. He did this 3 or 4 times and then went for it!

The two clean birds then enjoyed being together.

Between the two of them, they made a mess - Tweetie Pie did a lot of flapping. I had so much fun watching them I didn't mind cleaning up at all.

It is amazing how another birdy friend can bring a timid one out of his shell.

So adorable! Watching budgies bathe is amazing. <3

I always found getting splashed by Peri amusing. I remember Ant visiting and working at my desk, and his confusion when he felt water falling on him, only to find that Peri was bathing above him.

I love to see any birds take a bath especially budgies. They seem to have so much fun. Eric and Archie squabble over their bath as with everything else. If one is in it the other has to be doing the same and visa versa.

Lovely pics tweetiepiesmom . It's so nice to see they've bonded so quickly and are having such fun together.

It's funny, I never mind cleaning up after Willow - don't feel the same about the rest of the family though
