Spa Day!

Oh doesn't that luxurious pile of dirt and feathers make you swoon? What? You were expecting warm water with glistening suds and some candles? No, no, no! This is a dust bath! The girls LOVE to partake anytime they can find a pile big enough to hold themselves :)

The process is to get as much dirt under and around their little bodies as possible, and then shoosh their wings around to fluff in all in between their feathers. Rinse and repeat. Apparently it's cleansing.

Can't a girl get a little privacy?
