Macaw Bath…

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of watching two macaws take a bath.
They would have needed a swimming pool to splash around as a sparrow does in in a puddle.
Instead they got a steady shower from the hose while in their outdoor cage.
Walter and Lemon are the birds my son and his wife collected from Florida when they were fresh hatchlings just 4 weeks old.
They are now 7 months old, fully grown and learning to fly.
My daughter-in-law explained that birds won’t bathe unless they are content, healthy and well fed.
Despite the cold weather and even colder water these two birds were some content macaws.
They screeched and flapped and shook and turned upside down
to get every single, brightly colored feather drenched.
They were beautiful.

As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
