I have a seven month old CAG named Cloe. For the last month she has been taking showers at least once a week. If I do not get her in the shower half of her water in her bowl ends up on the floor (drinking bowl becomes bird bath). When I first brought her home I sat her next to the sink to let her get used to the running water (she is spooked easily). Now she enjoys shower time. In fact once she hears running water she starts jumping around thinking it is bath time. But you will find out each bird is different, some love water ..... some like it in small amounts.
