The birds haven’t been out for a while and in this cold weather are certainly eating more. I decided to let them have a bit of exercise and let them out. I put the bath down also. They came out and had a good fly and a bath. They certainly didn’t seem to be bothered that the water was cold. After their bath most just laid out in the sun drying off for a while before going back into the loft.

My birds did enjoy a nice fly and bath in the sleety rain we had this afternoon, they seem to prefer bathing on the colder days.
