In a fountain at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, a pair of sparrows taught the humans the proper way to bathe. |

|
Choose a well-drained area to bathe in. |

|
Dunk your head first. |

|
Then you must completely submerge to thoroughly clean your-bird-self. |

|
Shake off the excess water before submerging again. |

|
"Would you wash my back?" |

|
Don't forget behind your ears! |

|
And never drink bath water. |

|
The only creature that gets fluffier when wet. |

|
A drenched little birdie ready to dry off. |

|
Then in a nearby tree they preened... |

|
...And preened some more. |

|
Doesn't she smell fresh and clean now? |
