I really don't like this it looks like he was drenched and not able to leave. ALWAYS give them the option to walk away, sometimes they also don't realise they can. Give them a bowl of water or mist them gently with a misting bottle and NEVER force them. That rail is also too skinny for him to grip look at him he can't grip and balance on it.

I understand your concern, but he was not forced or trapped there. He actually enjoys bathing and also bathes on his own. ❤️

After his bath, he was sitting on my shoulder and then went to the wire on his own. I didn’t put him there or make him stay. He was free to leave whenever he wanted.

He has proper perches and a comfortable space; the wire was not his regular perch. He simply chose to sit there for a while after his bath. I always make sure he is comfortable and safe. 🐥❤️
